- Someone 5y agoIt almost is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon#History: The term tachyon was coined by Gerald Feinberg in a 1967 paper titled "Possibility of faster-than-light particles". He had been inspired by the science-fiction story "Beep" by James Blish.“ I don’t think “Beep” introduced the word, though (https://archive.org/details/galaxymagazine-1954-02 https://archive.org/details/galaxymagazine-1954-02)
