A tachyon (pronounced /ˈtækiˌɒn/; Greek: ταχύς, takhus, "swift" + ιων, iōn, "that which goes") is a hypothetical sub atomic particle that travels faster than the speed of light.

Since it's described as moving faster than the speed of light, I'm pretty sure if one was recorded it would be moving faster than the speed of light, otherwise it wouldn't be a tachyon.

Wait but is it true that if you move at speed of light you can actually travel to time?.
I asked my teacher and told me because time and space are the same but I just hot so confused

The amount of fail in this thread is immense.
Firstly, tachyons are purely theoretical, evidence of them has never been seen, and they are discounted by modern quantum physical theory.
Also, the theory of relativity has not been (and cannot be) proven, it is a scientific theory for gods sake. Scientific theories grow more and more accepted the more useful they prove to be and the more evidence appears that aligns with them. They never get proven. This misunderstanding leads to 90% of the stupidity about evolution. There has been a great amount of evidence backing up relativity, and it is almost universally accepted.
Finally, these questions are ridiculous. The speed of light only really matters if you are talking about relativity. If you are, well then... you are asking us to pretend the theory relativity is incorrect so we can get to that speed, then pretend it is correct and observe how the object is affected. Well then: the object or some part of the object you are holding would accelerate with you, and its mass would grow exponentially as the speed approached the speed of light. Eventually, the gravity of the object would pull the entire universe into it, creating a black hole of big-bang proportions.

umm, @ everyne i guess....
The ultimate speed is I (acording to the famous guy... some german...). I is the speed of light... its either that or C. meh i didnt pay attention in physics. any ways. the only reason t can move at the speed is because light is made up of massless objects called photons, although if your in space (pure vacume) who knows what you can do...
Voyager 2, (the other one crashed into a astroid or sumin) is going 30x faster then a speeding bullet, and isnt even out of the kalp belt, thats the fastest we have been able to make something go in space, reason i said that... they are afraid to make it go faster in fear of distorting the craft. dunno why... i beleive, then again im just someone who took highschool physics and im very tired right now... not even looking at the screen while i type.

Yes OP, I do own a pulling something at the speed of light.
If something is travelling at the speed of light and you are stationary, you can see it. I mean, you can see light, right?
And nothing is faster than the speed of light. |

srry guys lol, i was dead last night....
Issac newton i think... called the speed of light the un reachable, and the ultimate speed. meaning nothing can go faster or as fast

Well the speed of light is 3x10^8 meter/s, theoretically, if you can get something to move faster then that you can  Would be awesome if nasa maned up and used some plasma rockets in space to go faster then light
Also, it is C.

Statement is completely wrong.
1. "Particles" are molecules which is matter, matter cant move without acted upon so this is false, only energy can move matter.
2.The only energy that is proven to move faster than light is Dark Matter, which is actually an energy, just the person who discovered thought it was matter.

So, they're invisible amiright? |
yes to the humans eyes yes, but there are many other ways to look things without light itself. |
Errr, elaborate. |
do some research on tachyons ;3
well I'm not sure if they already confirmed them >.>... |
i've heard about tachyons in freaking k pax. Is that really serious?
If so I will do some research, damnit. |
