Something moving faster than light should have imaginary mass, like photons have zero mass and thus travel at $c$.
I have read the articlethis article of physicist E. C. George Sudarshan.herehttp://quest.ph.utexas.edu/sudarshan_tachyons.html He
He said taking mass to be imaginary we get real energy and momentum. (I think I have understood that.) However, if something moves at a speed greater than $c$, its proper time $\tau=t\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}$ becomes imaginary (where $t$ is coordinate time).
Does this imply causality violation? Does imaginary time mean time is going backward?
