Do not mention tachyons around my fiance. She goes ballistic. It all stems from when she and I were watching one of those science shows, and they talked about the speed of light. The narrator made the statement that nothing goes faster than light, except space itself. This is based on the observation that distant supernovas are moving away from each other faster than they should, and is a whole thing unto itself. Unfortunately my lady heard the narrator say "Nothing moves faster than light, except light itself". This made her fly into a rage about how that didn't make any sense (admittedly it doesn't) and how biology is the better science.
Needless to say, my show of choice when she is out with the girls involves astro-physics, quantum dynamics, and string theory. Ah, to be a nerd in love.
