No, nothing known can travel faster than the speed of light.

Theories do predict a type of "nonmatter" called tachyonic matter that cannot travel slower than the speed of light, but nothing like it has ever been discovered. It is actually likely if it did exist at the time of the big bang, it almost certainly left the universe almost instantly because the big bang expansion could not keep up.

What are faster than light particles?

There are currently no known particles that travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, as Einstein's theory of relativity states that nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light. However, there are theoretical particles called tachyons that are hypothesized to travel faster than light, but they have not been observed experimentally.

Do gamma particles travel fastest?

Gamma particles are photons - or electromagnetic waves. They travel at the speed of light; nothing can go faster than that.


What is more faster then the speed of light?

Theoretically there exist hypothetical particles called tachyons which can travel faster than the speed of light.


What is faster than speed of light?

AnswerAccording to our current understanding of physics, it seems that nothing can go faster than the speed of light.AnswerThere are these subatomic particles called neutrinos that travel 60 nanoseconds faster than light. Unfortunately, that means Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity is wrong. So, theoretically, you can time travel and be your own grandmother.

Is tachyon energy real?

Tachyons are imaginary subatomic particles that always travel faster than light.


What travels faster than light waves and sound waves?

Nothing within the known laws of physics can travel faster than light in a vacuum. However, certain theoretical particles known as tachyons are hypothesized to travel faster than light. Additionally, gravitational waves can also travel at the speed of light.


Is there a tiny particle that can faster than the speed of light and sound?

No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.


Which particle travels the fastest?

There are some particles that travel at the speed of light - mainly, the photon (the particle that makes up light), and the (hypothetical) graviton. No particles are known to travel faster than that, and it doesn't seem likely that this is at all possible.
