Abstract

Usually considered highly speculative, tachyons can be treated via straightforward Einsteinian dynamics. Kinetic theory and thermodynamics for a gas of “dark” tachyons are readily constructed. Such a gas exhibits density and pressure which, for the dominant constituent of a suitable Friedmann–Robertson–Walker space–time, can drive cosmic evolution with features both similar to and distinct from those of a standard dark-energy/dark-matter model. Hence, tachyons might bear further consideration as a cosmic dark-matter candidate.
