Tachyon Treatment
As Tachyon treatment in the field of be esoteric and alternative medicine treatments refer to operations where hypothetical tachyon healing effects are ascribed. In the area of esotericism, tachyons are referred to as energy carriers, whereby the so-called "esoteric energy" is neither scientifically defined nor measurable. In this context, products are also offered that are said to contain “tachyon energy”. There is no evidence that such products or treatments have any healing properties. Given the origin of the term tachyon, this is not surprising. Gerald Feinberg coined the term tachyon to fit a hypothetical discussion in physics about particles moving faster than light (in accordance with the equations of special relativity).
Since around 1990, some manufacturers in the USA , Liechtenstein (see Kurt Tepperwein ) and Switzerland have allegedly "tachyonized" devices, cosmetics and other products for the healing sector. A measurable, i.e. H. noticeable change is not associated with the procedure, which is generally not described in detail. The use of Tachyon products is said to stimulate self-healing powers . Products include t-shirts, foot sprays, and lubricants. In addition to abnormal sensations such as stress, exhaustion and purification , the providers also recommend tachyon therapy for chronic diseases. This should have an ordering effect on the organism.
criticism
Proponents of "tachyon treatment" claim to be able to use tachyons even though there is no evidence of their existence.
In brochures of such esoteric products, the tachyons are also assigned other properties that have nothing to do with the physical meaning. Terms from physics and electrical engineering are often borrowed in order to suggest seriousness and competence to potential customers. However, the use of these terms is usually incorrect and often physically impossible in context. From a marketing point of view, these false claims are not a problem, as the customer base typically does not come from the natural sciences.
