you mean Michio Kaku
oh, and he's japanese-american
I know he is japanese american I was just trying to paint a picture of him

Im a geek but I am not geeky enough to know what a tachyon is. Also I am thick. I am a thick geek trying to start intersting threads. Give me some leeway.
According to references online they're (said to be) always faster than the speed of light and are thought to be too unstable to exist with normal particles.
Theoretically.
Measuring it is nigh-on impossible
All this anti matter nonsense, the energy "available" from nuclear fission is a pretty large source, we just don't have the means to get higher yields as such.
Anti-matter was overrated, too many hopes on a whim...
You can time travel now with today's technology, it's this thing called a "time-zone", go play with it

Awww bless. Someones watched too much Star Trek.
Tip: Don't worry about it.

dont patronise me. I may be thick but I am not that thick. I know if I fly from here direct to new zeland at the highest available speed I might be like a minuet into the future. But its not what I had in mind.
also the interaction between two entangled photons is transmitted faster than the speed of light,
Quantum entanglement has only recently (the last couple of months) been tested in lab conditions - Now that is cool news but we're still a long way off entangling physical things
I'm not patronising you, simply making a light-hearted joke, no need to throw your teddy out of the pram.
I used to be mystified and amazed by things like this, when I was about 14. Now, I'm much more into the "here and now" of science, things that will benefit me, and affect me, rather than my great-great-great-great-great grandchild that I shall be adamant be called Bartholomew.
This sort of thing more interests me: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11810550

Read the Colonial Marines Techical Manual. It explains it quite nicely.
Fizzicks isn't my bag either.

If you accept that human consciosness is just a bundle of information encoded into electro-chemical processes in some way then why bother trying to send matter over vast distances?
Much easier to just extract the information, send the information via quantum entanglement or some other method and then dump it into a suitable repository at the other end.

But you can't know (measure) the state without breaking the entanglement, so you can't send any information.
The entangled particles know each others states anyway so why the need to measure further?!
In 2007 scientists have sent information from one telescope to another at a distance of 89 miles using entanglement. Things appear to have made slow progress since then though.

I think you need to do more research.
