Abstract
A one-dimensional theory of tachyons, which is noninvariant under space
inversion and is based on extending the Lorentz transformations to inertial
co-ordinate systems having relative velocities greater than that of light,
is given. It is shown that the theory is fully causal and exhibits a
reciprocity between tachyons and bradyons according to which a tachyon with
dimensionless velocity v/c>1 behaves as a bradyon with dimensionless
velocity c/v<1 and with the space and time components of its
"two-vectors" interchanged.
