Tachyonic Metaphysics

Tachyons are hypothetical particles which always travel faster than light. They exhibit reversed causality (negative time) compared to ordinary particles, and some of them are capable of moving at infinite speed. It is by virtue of their reversed causility, however, that tachyons (predicted by Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity) are the most important of theoretical particles being sought by physicsts, since they potentially offer us humans the means by which we may at last explain the nature of quantum gravity in an empirical way; that is, the way that best fits experiment and observation.

Additionally, tachyonics (the study of tachyons) carried out on an hypothetical basis today could lead to theoretical advances of tomorrow so profound as to be unimaginable at our present state of technological development. Tachyonics, in fact, hands us the possibility of obtaining instantaneous communications capabilities, spanning unlimited reaches of space; the certainty of finding a practical means of breaking the lightspeed barrier to spaceflight; and the aweful prospect of weapons so powerful as to make atomic bombs and even the most advanced weapons systems of today seem trivial by comparison.

Mathematically, a tachyonic mass Tm can be viewed as the superluminal analog of a sublight mass Sm, where some operator similar to the imaginary unit [ i = (-1)^(1/2) ; i^2 = -1 ] transforms Sm into Tm, just like the imaginary unit (i) transforms any real number (y) into an imaginary number (iy; as found in a complex number of the form; z = x + iy, where z is the complex number, x is the real-number part of z, and y is the imaginary-number part of z). In this case, however, multiplication by the new imaginary unit, call it the "imagination" unit (denoted, say, by "i^i") does not imply the standard transformation (such as a rotation about an axis, as is common for the standard imaginary unit, i), but implies transposition of specifications relating to the speed at which Sm travels through space. Hence, if Sm is the mass of a real particle in ordinary spacetime, then the equation Tm = (i^i)Sm defines Tm as a tachyonic analog of Sm, where the particle whose mass is Tm is treated like an imaginary entity.

(1) The overall effect of gravity must be the imparting of warpage to spacetime; curvature of space as measured according to some specification related to the passing of time, where the curvature corresponds to that described in the field equations of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. That is, General Relativity must hold for any model that purports to explain gravity at the quantum level (subatomic scale), using a virtual-particle (gauge field) scenario. Correspondingly, the exchange must cause an attraction between all masses, regardless of the type of masses involved, and must therefore involve a representation that conforms to (or, at least, does not contradict) Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, defined; given a mass M1 exerting a force F1 of attraction on another mass M2, then F1 = G[(M1xM2)/(r^2)], where F1 is the magnitude of the attractive force, r is the distance between the masses, and G is Newton's constant {6.67x[10^(-8)] m/[(kg)(s^2)]}. [Note: M2 exerts a like force on M1.]

(2) A mass must act like the source of a monopole field of emitted gravity-exchange particles, making the gravitational field the only naturally occurring monopole field, since all other energy fields known exhibit bipolar and multipolar characteristics. In particular, gravity is one-dimensional, the electro-weak field of an atom is two-dimensional (i.e. the electric and magnetic fields are two aspects of the same field), and the chromodynamic field of atomic nuclei must be represented using three or more dimensions (involving color-based charge labels). Thus, the gravitational field must be radiative in nature, much like the field of particles emitted from a radioactive substance. Otherwise, it cannot be construed as a true monopole.

(3) Any proposed quantum of gravity must be of such a character as to explain why physicists have been unable to detect it on subatomic scales, and why it has eluded detection for so long when all other particles needed for a unification have been found or implied from repeatable experiments and/or empirical observations. Though gravity was the first fundamental force to be investigated scientifically, the quantum of gravity remains an enigma to this day.

A study of all hypothetical particles proposed as the quantum of gravity reveals only one which fits all of the requirements for conformity with exprimental evidence, and that particle is the tachyon. Thus, gravity is faster than light.

The hypothesis that gravity is the result of radiating tachyons, which bring about universal attractions between all masses (due to their reversed causality) and impart curvature to space (according to Einstein's field equations), also explains why we have been unable to detect gravity at subatomic distances. Gravitation is caused by an imaginary particle.

Tachyons can be used to represent the substantive nature of all spirit entities, including angels, demons, gods, demi-gods, ghosts, fairies, and all manner of other non-physical creatures reported in myth, religion, and folk-lore. Consequently, it is no longer possible for scientists to speak of such entities as figments of people's imaginations, nor can fundamentalist religionists say that aliens do not exist; for they are the same thing. Angels are a type of space-alien, though such a revelation cannot be used as an excuse to impose atheism on religious people. To the contrary, this realization ultimately forces hardcore atheists to reconsider their stance, while, at the same time, also forcing spiritual-minded individuals to modify their mental picture of non-physical lifeforms. We can no longer say that things are one way or another, since they are both simultaneously.

The reality is that alternate-dimensional lifeforms do exist, whether we have been calling them aliens, angels, or whatever, and those we have named exhibit characteristics we attribute to them, but they are not what we thought they were, regardless of the standpoint from which we have been defining them.

The most accurate concept of angels, therefore, is neither scientific nor religious, but something else altogether. And to make the mind work its way around this idea, we merely have to consult the arts. This mental triad -- physics, spirituality, and the arts -- allows us to put our perceptions of reality on a more all-inclusive footing; coincident both with controlled experiment and with metaphysical philosophies; meaning, we cannot reject ideas from different disciplines out of hand.

Thus, the physics of angels can be comprehended only by bringing scientific, religious, and artistic points of view together in a composite understanding. From science (notably, theoretical physics), we obtain an hypothetical particle, the tachyon, which puts the nature of spirit forms in a mathematically empirical setting. We can think of them as holy beings or as an alien species if you like, it makes no difference. They are the same. From metaphysics, we must look to mythology, religion, and folk-lore for descriptions of their interactions with humans. And the arts gives us the tools whereby we can put forth viable descriptions.

The logic goes like this. If there is a non-zero probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe besides on Earth, then there is the possibility that some such lifeforms are alternate-dimensional in nature, which means that some portion of those may be just like the gods, angels, demons, fairies, and other non-physical or pseudo-physical entities reported throughout history in every culture, in every land, in every epoch; to one extent or another. Consequently, we must view angels as a type of alien, or allow that certain aliens resemble angels, and that they are actually creatures made-up of tachyons, regardless of how we view them on a personal level, for they remain, despite our new understanding, quite beyond our reckoning.

An investigation into the nature of actual magic, including its beginnings, what it is, what it can and can't do, the deep secrets of magic, and how it can be put to use in modern times, reveals that it is nothing more than the ability to manipulate certain forces, traditionally referred to as "unseen" forces, which are actually tachyonic in nature. That is, magic is tachyonic; which means magic, mysticism, psychic phenomenon, and other supernatural activities are different uses of energies comprised of virtual particles that move faster than light, and which cannot, therefore, be directly detected by instruments that science presently devises.

Some humans can use certain tachyonic energies more readily than others, though all of us tap into the unseen forces in one way or another. Thought itself probably originates from a tachyonic field of force, with the result that electrochemical activity on the physical level takes place in the human brain. And the life-force of all living things is likely another interrelated field (likewise invisible). Doctors can generally tell when a person's life-force has gone and cannot be returned, and when a person's brain has ceased to function in a normal way after being damaged, though the person's body lives on. Yet, there are stories from every culture, spanning all of history (and into modern times), of individuals reported to possess the ability to bring others back from the dead, or heal the sick, and even restore lost brain functionality. And whether such events are considered magical or miraculous, the possibility that such events are true cannot now be called into question in every recorded case.

If it should be shown eventually that gravity is tachyonic, then gravity itself will stand as the first example of how unseen superluminal forces can have direct affects on detectable materials. It remains only for our scientists to find a method of detecting tachyons for such hypotheses to be substantiated or refuted. Then is when we begin learning the full truth about tachyons and their relation to gravity, metaphysics, angelic aliens, and unexplained phenomena, including magic and the unseen forces of existence.
