From Asynchronous Logic to the Standard Model to Superflight to the Stars

This book is the second volume exploring the properties of faster than light particles (tachyons). The existence of tachyons has not been proved yet. But the instantaneous nature of Quantum Mechanics and the behavior of particles in Black Holes prove faster than light motion occurs in nature. In volume 1 the author showed that one can derive the form of The Standard Model of elementary particles if neutrinos and down-type quarks are tachyons. In this volume the author shows that these tachyons cause Parity, CP and CPT violation. Also the General Theory of Relativity is extended to Complex General Relativity and its vierbein version. The theory's complex coordinates are mapped to real-valued coordinates (that we observe) using a transformation composed of SU(3) and two SU(2)xU(1) groups - the very groups that appear in The Standard Model. Volume 1 showed that these same groups play a similar role in The Standard Model by mapping complex, faster than light coordinates to real-valued coordinates. Thus the same groups are the basis of Complex General Relativity and The Standard Model. WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles - Dark Matter?) appear naturally in this Standard Model. WIMP atoms and chemistry is described. Lastly, the kinetic theory and thermodynamics of systems of tachyons is developed. An appendix is attached with a description of Complex General Relativity that appears in the author's earlier "Quantum Big Bang" book.
