That’s me with my tachyonic (imaginary) physique.\u00a0 As the end of my time on planet Earth nears I am an Emeritus Physics<\/b><\/a> professor at George Mason University, having retired in 2013, after having served as department chair for 15 of the 36 years I spent at Mason.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I received a BS in Physics from Brooklyn College in 1959 and a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University in 1964 under then future Nobel Laureate Jack Steinberger.\u00a0 After a Post-Doc at the University of Pennsylvania I taught at Rutgers University and then SUNY New Paltz, where I served as physics department chair.\u00a0 Most of my research has been in particle physics especially neutrinos, but I have also published in other areas, including renewable energy, nuclear weapons issues, climate change, and physics education. More details about my career can be found here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 1999 I have sought to find evidence for the reality of faster-than-light particles or tachyons, having published over 20 refereed article<\/strong>s<\/a> on the subject.\u00a0 Contrary to the belief held by most physicists, a considerable amount of evidence has, in fact, been amassed that one of the neutrinos is a tachyon.\u00a0 A book published in May 2022 “Hunting the Tachyon<\/a>, and Finding Three Unicorns and a Herd of Elephants<\/a><\/strong>” (my 23rd) presents the evidence for the general reader.\u00a0 In my spare time I am hopelessly addicted to the game of go.\u00a0 Reload this page and you’ll see a game evolve before your eyes between two expert players.\u00a0 They stop playing when white concludes his situation is hopeless.\u00a0 You can find out more about this ancient game (probably<\/a><\/strong> played throughout the galaxy)\u00a0 here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Welcome to the web site of Bob Ehrlich aka “Dr. Tachyon.”\u00a0 That’s me with my tachyonic (imaginary) physique.\u00a0 As the end of my time on planet Earth nears I am an Emeritus Physics professor at George Mason University, having retired in 2013, after having served as department chair for 15 of the 36 years I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-44","page","type-page","status-publish","czr-hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44"}],"version-history":[{"count":44,"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":757,"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44\/revisions\/757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehrlich.physics.gmu.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"File:Go-board-animated.gif\"](\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/f\/f3\/Go-board-animated.gif\")
