"What the heck is a Tachyon, anyway?"

I have been asked the meaning of my username so many times, I thought I would just stop the mystery right here.
A tachyon(tack-eon) is a (hypothetical) particle that can only travel faster than light. Therefore it can not interact with matter, therefore it is unobservable, and may not or probably does not, exist. This makes it more of a philosophical particle or gadankin thing, which is great to talk about, but probably does not have any bearing in the real world.
What do you think of the images? All of the side and graphics(excluding the ultraviolet photo of the sun) were created by yours truly, using Ray Dream Studio 5.
