Breaking The Speed of Light: Tachyons and Time Dilation

Video Authors:


Milan Sivakumar- B.S in Biomedical Engineering UT’23, M.D UT Southwestern’27


In this video we continue to explore the mysterious tachyon. Specifically, we take a look at what exactly could happen as we approach and then break the speed of light. Of course it is all theoretical, but nonetheless it is still an interesting concept worth exploring.
