On the impossibility of a scalar tachyon

Description

It is the purpose of this paper to prove that a preferred space direction is coupled with each tachyon and, consequently, scalar tachyons, are impossible in principle. Even the notion of a scalar faster-than-light particle cannot be defined in a relativistically invariant way. (orig./HSI)
