"Causality"
One of the "truths" correctly accepted by the academic community is
"Causality". It states that an effect cannot occur before its cause.
Unfortunately this truth has been used to refute the idea of tachyons
because, if they existed and could be exploited, they would permit faster
than light communication and a communication could arrive before it was
sent!
While it is true that, in the observer's frame of reference such a
result could occur, there is no violation of causality necessarily involved!
The establishment of "now" between the Earth and the Moon currently can only
be established by the sending of an electromagnetic signal between the two
locations. In the frame of reference of the Earth-Moon system, this
transmission requires about 1.2 seconds. If we accept that Special
Relativity allows the Earth-Moon system has a velocity limited to +/-C, then
there is an uncertainty in the "now" between the two locations of +/-1.2
seconds. If the "electromagnetic now" differs from the "tachyon now" by
less than +/- 1,2 seconds, there is no causality problem with the concept of
tachyons. Causality would only be violated if the difference in "nows"
exceeded 1.2 seconds or if a round trip tachyon signal returned before it
was sent. One can hardly consider that the concept of communicating with
tachyons violates the principle of causality! All that communication with
tachyons would establish is that our reality is actually based upon the
classical Aether and sink the idea of space-time as a basis of reality. But,
as Dr. Einstein asserted, "remember gentlemen, we have not disproved the
existence of the Aether, we have only proven that we do not need it (for
calculations).
