Translating this concept into physical terms, Feinberg conjured up a strange particle that seemed to exist only on the other side of the speed-of-light barrier; it could move at velocities greater than 186,000 m.p.s., but never at that speed or slower. Thus, because it could never stop, its rest mass was irrelevant and could indeed be an imaginary number...
