Seven reasons why neutrinos may be faster-than-light tachyons

Robert Ehrlich, George Mason University

Most physicists believe that material objects and information can not travel faster than c, the speed of light in vacuum. Tachyons, hypothetical faster-than-light particles were first proposed in 1962. Although direct experimental searches for tachyons have been negative, there are reasons to believe that neutrinos may be tachyonic.
