Matter is energy transformed, and energy is matter converted back. There's really nothing too difficult about understanding this concept. E=MC² is the formula where E stands for energy, M for matter, and C as a constant. Einstein gave us this formula, and even schoolchildren with limited science backgrounds have heard of it. Tachyon energy, however, is an entirely different matter. When scientists began to delve into the world of quantum physics, they hypothesized that there were particles of matter that traveled faster than the speed of light. These are four-momentum particles, meaning they have three-dimensional properties and add the time-space continuum to them. Given this, they should be able to travel backward through time. Scientific studies now lean toward negating the usefulness of tachyon fields since the gathering of these particles is incredibly unstable. However, some believe that tachyon particles give energy that enables them to reach higher levels of communication with the unknown forces of the universe. People sell machines that claim to produce tachyon energy. Almost cult-like followers swear by the effectiveness of tachyon energy in reaching a higher spiritual level. Is this a real effect or another plan to separate people from their money? Since tachyons are particles, this presents the first argument against the existence of tachyon energy as a way to achieve higher levels. While matter and energy are one, they don’t have the same name in each form. There are hypothetical particles named tachyons labeled by quantum physicists, not energy fields. Those who sell and use tachyon energy cells swear by their effectiveness in reaching higher peaks of psychic power and healing the body and mind. Is this just another effort to use "science speak" to sell products, some of which cost thousands of dollars? While there is no proof these machines do anything of value, there also is no proof they don’t. At one time, scientists were overjoyed at the concept of the usefulness of tachyon particles to carry information. That was until they realized how unstable the particles were. Since then, the study of these particles has dwindled. You'll find websites that talk about tachyon energy and include the instability of the particle as part of the jargon. According to these sites, the tachyon’s instability comes from zero-point energy, the source of life itself. While the articles use a lot of scientific jargon that makes it seem logical, there still are no "unbiased" studies proving its effectiveness or existence as an energy form. Should you invest in a high-dollar tachyon unit? That is your choice, but there appears to be limited scientific research indicating that it does anything to aid your internal energy levels. Rather than spend the money hoping for a quick way to reach higher levels of existence, consider training your body to tap into those energy fields and use powers you already have. The cost in most cases is much more insignificant, and training in fields like yoga provides additional health benefits. Yoga and other types of training that involve meditation and mental focus increase your skills, rest your mind and body, and provide health benefits that include flexibility, renewed energy, and often lower blood pressure. These are not quick fixes, but they have scientific data that proves their effectiveness. Therefore, the choice is yours. Do you take a chance on an unproven theory or put your efforts into training your mind and body to reach higher levels of spiritual and psychic development?
