They were first proposed by physicist Arnold Sommerfield, who argued that on the basis of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, particles must exist which speed up as they lose energy, unlike ordinary particles which speed up when they gain energy.  He referred to these superluminal particles as B-matter, or meta-matter.  FTP, name these theoretical particles which travel faster than light.
