Next thought experiment - physics - think about this one for a bit...

[Times Roman]

Again with the black holes.

I'll just copy and paste from wiki, since I'm drinking wine, and my spelling sucks right at the moment....

"A black hole is a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping."

The issue with the event horizon is that the "escape velocity" in the region between the singularity and the event horizon is greater than the speed of light.

Easy enough. We've heard this from the egg heads ad naseum, right?

But what about a theoritical particle called a tachyon? This particle can ONLY move faster than the speed of light.

So what difficulties would this particle have traversing the space inside a black hole? And once inside, would it be able to exit undisturbed?

So have a drink, think abouut it, and let me know....

It would potentially be able to escape the black hole. Only if it were to have zero mass.
Inside the black hole, the gravity would have zero effect on its relative speed or tine perception.

Just a guess!

In order for the formula E equals mc squared to not be violated, the theoritical particle called a tachyon has an imaginary mass............

.....it seems you might be on the right track

That's the theory I was applying. In order for the theoretical partial to have such a speed. It must have no mass. Or at least as to stated, an imaginary mass. This would also then exempt it from any gravitational effects.

I studied physics at college. This was the stuff I loved learning. It was only a tiny module though. I spent most of the topic learning about magnetic fields /yawn

Sorry mate. I took physics as a junior in highschool....

... one of those accellerated learning progarms for nerds like me.

Unfortunately, I flunked out due to some strange green leafy substance....
