I heard about tachyons and tardyons some years ago. We are basically in a Universe of tardyons ( sounds like being late to school... :-)

And that there is a barrier region where tachyons cannot slow down to, and tardyons cannot speed up to, the barrier of the speed of light.

I have read a few claims years ago that it sounds like the old Sound Barrier problem...

It isn't the same type of thing of course. A jet fighter doesn't get heavier, and closer to be an infinitely flattened plane, as it approaches the speed of sound.

I still see occasional claims that show me that some folks out there don't understand the Speed barrier and Light Barrier differences.

Haven't seen that here, just wanted to mention it happens.
