Futuristic rocket concepts: Tachyon rocket
Tachyon rocket is one of the most exotic systems, what futurologists have ever created.
Have you ever seen the term "tachyon engine"? The engine itself is one kind of WARP- or ramjet engine, which would just pull the tachyons through it. The system would have simple two bites, the ramjet engine what is forward, and the weight, which pulls the hypothetical tachyon particles backward like in WARP-engine. The principle of the system is easy, but it requires that the speed of the craft would be accelerated to the speed of the light.
The practical problems with this kind of system are extremely huge, but the needed thing is the donut-shaped craft, where is the weight behind it, and when the craft touches the speed of the light, the greater weight would just push the craft forward by using the superstrings, what have stored the energy during the acceleration. But the problem is that tachyons are hypothetical particles, and there are no real observations about that thing except the "ghost particles", what are sometimes seen in high-energetic particle accelerating tests.
Another way to benefit the tachyons what are the only theoretical particles that can cross the speed of the light is just to capture them in the particle accelerator. Then those particles would put in the bottle, and shoot backward. But how to capture the ghost? The thing is that every tachyon is formed during the Big Bang, and those particles always travel faster than the speed of light and they cannot slow.
And everything started when the speed of light is measured
Since Albert Abraham Michelson measured the speed of light, crossing that cosmic constant has been a dream of mankind. The question is why that thing is the cosmic constant, what cannot be crossed? The speed of sound is also constant, and that's why we should have the possibility to create the spacecraft, which can cross that speed. The tachyon theory explains this thing that when the particle will close the speed of the light, the tachyon would start to push if and slow that particle, and when the particle will close to the speed of light, the energy level of the tachyon will be increased.
And the thing that is called tachyon symmetry will make the crossing the speed of the light impossible because the energy level of tachyon will increase near the speed of light. Sometimes researchers thought that effecting the symmetry of tachyon-normal particle would be shaken or turn to asymmetric that thing will cause that the normal particle would turn tachyon to its world.
So researchers think that increasing the energy level of the object at the right moment, they can deny the effect of tachyon. The energy level of the particles has tried to increase by stressing them with asymmetrical photons, and the thing hoped to increase the energy level of the particle that way, it would not pull tachyon to our universe.
There have made many tests, what purpose has been sending the particle to the world, where the time moves backward, and what is called hyperspace, where exists the strange hypothetical particles called tachyons. At first, the researchers have planned to make the particles, what energy level is so high, that it can just cross the speed of the light, which might seem very easy in papers.
The thing that makes crossing the speed of light impossible is that the jet, what is pushing the craft forward cannot cross the speed of light. There have been plans to make the electron- or cathode ray-based systems, where the laser rays or extremely powerful magnetic fields would increase the mass of the electrons, that they would turn to singularity, and then push the craft forward.
But there is another way to cross the speed of light. That thing is to capture a couple of tachyons and make them travel to backward. The problem is that researchers have not single tachyon, which they can store and shoot to backward.
