Has it? It sounds very odd to me. Do you have any reference?

A tachyon is a hypothetical particle which travels faster than the
speed of light. Solving relativistic (not quantum) equations for
mass, etc. when v > c, you get imaginary mass and other oddities.

I had heard of Tachyons before, but I thought that they were only
hypothetical particles that arise from some versions of string
theories, and actually they are considered by some an undesiderable
property of these theories.
