Einstein is rolling over in His Grave, or Cern makes a big mistake

Cavediver,Your post made me look up tachyons on wikidepidea, which made my head explode. Or did my head explode first? I suppose that depends on what information traveling in excess of c does to causaility!This is a question admittedly borne of ignorance, but could you put in layman's terms what a zero mass particle that exists in velocities exceeding c would mean for general and special relativity? What would the confirmation of the existance of such a particle mean in practical terms, for us social "science" types who don't have the background in mathematics or the phycial sciences to appreciate such concepts on paper? If any?Speaking hypothetically, if tomorrow it was determined that these particles, or any other, were confirmed to travel in excess of c (without tunneling through space/wormholes or whatever) what would the day to day consiquences be?Edited by Wollysaurus, : My own ignorance
