For the last sixty years, since Einstein's theory of Relativity, scientists have accepted that it is truly impossible to travel faster than light. Recent developments in particle physics seem to indicate that perhaps there are objects called tachyons which have the property of being able to go faster than light-in fact at infinite speeds in some cases. Dr. Taylor examines the possibility of our being able to use these particles as ways of transmitting information at colossal speeds.
