In quantum field theory, complex mass would induce tachyon condensation. Another example of a tachyonic field is the tachyon of bosonic string theory. A tachyonic field, or simply tachyon, is a quantum field with an imaginary mass. Episodes are replete with references to tachyon beams, baryon sweeps, quantum fluctuations and event horizons. Jaime manages to stop him by blasting him with tachyon particles, paralyzing him. Tachyon condensation is a central concept in this field. Tachyon condensation is still very poorly understood. Faster than light communications technology, Fatlines are said to operate through tachyon bursts. This process is known as tachyon condensation. Lansdale also publishes with Dark Regions Press, and Tachyon Publications. "Her Smoke Rose Up Forever", available in paperback through Tachyon Publications as of 2004. It was first published in November 2012 by Tachyon Publications. Dr. Tachyon, a member of this family, objects and attempts to stop them. Given the faster-than-light nature of the tachyon, these messages will effectively reach the past. Lovecraft's Monsters was published by Tachyon Publications on April 15, 2014.
