First off, tachyons are not massless. Something that is massless travels at c. Tachyons have mass, but just to cause greater confusion, that mass is imaginary, i.e. the squared mass is negative.
sheesh.....that was the layman's explanation? I'm going fishing.......

Re: "Speed of light" experiment professor resigns
That's a damn shame if true. I thought it was a great piece of scientific honesty declaring a result that they couldn't themselves believe to be true and ask for help and confirmation.
I really dislike the idea that you have to resign for making that kind of mistake - it's not what science stands for.
