 Another instance is Gregory Benford's novel "Timescape", winner of the Nebula Award, which involves the use of tachyons to transmit a message of salvation back in time.Likewise, John Carpenter's horror film "Prince of Darkness" uses tachyons to explain how future humans send messages backward through time to warn the characters of their impending doom.By contrast, Alan Moore's classic comic book limited series "Watchmen" features a character who uses "a squall of tachyons" broadcasting from space to muddle the mind of the only person on Earth capable of seeing the future.
