View submission: What if faster-than-light particles erase themselves from existence?
We think* that as objects aproach light speed, time dilation approaches infinity. And we've proven that experimentally using Cesium clocks on airplanes as well as testing solar particles' half lives. That said, the universe has sown that our atomic models and our understanding of the cosmos is stil not foolproof. We have evidence of blackholes violating the laws of conservation for example. We also have reason to believe the universe itself is expanding at a rate faster than light, so why are the galaxies not self-anihilating ? Think of how electrons were considered only particles before the duality principle was proven, Or our atomic models before the Higgs Boson discovery, and then we updated it with new understanding. what other "surprises" might we find to explain faster than light travel , or why it can or cannot be ? Maybe Tachyons are real after all ? Maybe we finally discover just what exactly dark energy is ?
In short: We have our understanding of physical laws based on how we observe the universe around us. What we dont have is the limitations or exceptions to those models, or if they are suffieciently accurate to cover all possibilities (until we hit one and be like oh huh ok so there's that)
There's nothing here!
