Incorrect. They are hypothetical because they have not been directly observed. The math and knowledge for how to do it is all there. This is in the same way that evolution is theoretical. Because it has not been directly observed. Understand that a theory can be an unobserved fact. This is called indirect observation.
That's nice and all about you trusting professionals, seeing as what I say comes directly from them.
Tachyons have been indirectly observed. It's called Cherenkov radiation.
And you have yet to show us HOW your dna is that of African or Indian decent.

Actually, the whole bit about the India-African bit can be dismissed due to credibility. It is not an accurate system, and earlier in the thread, it was posted disclaimers from the site which said that their tests would not be accurate with regards to regional DNA and identification of ancestry.
I have yet to see anything that qualifies him as an alien aside from his personal accounts of super tall space mother and interstellar experiences which have no proof whatsoever.

See, this confuses me. You keep saying "oh, it's accurate" then you say "but most people think it's not accurate" then "oh, but it is accurate". Stop going both ways! If the test is not highly accurate it cannot be used as a basis for extra-terrestrial origins. Is there a distinct difference between you and a human, or are you and your alien friends exactly the same as a human?

You misunderstand. I am asking if there is anything truly physically different between you and me. You can argue DNA markers all day, but if you still look, sound, act, and think the same basic way I do, what makes you alien?

Like I've said.
It comes down to trusting that you were born on a space ship. To which you have no proof.
That's the key point here. And for that, you are dismissed as an alien. There is absolutely no proof to you, you're made up civilization, nor anything else.
Theoretical? Yes. That's what tachyons are. And tachyons are evolving into pretty much anything that can go ftl. It's a description of a group, not an individual particle. Do try to keep up with modern science if you are going to try and talk about it. For that matter, tachyons are no longer hypothetical. They are proven through indirect observation.
You can turn a photon into a tachyon in that way. It's just an ftl photon.
Wikipedia - Tachyon
A tachyon (pronounced /ˈtæki.ɒn/; Greek: ταχύς, takhus, "swift" + English: -on "elementary particle") is a hypothetical subatomic particle that moves faster than light. In the language of special relativity, a tachyon is a particle with space-like four-momentum and imaginary proper time. A tachyon is constrained to the space-like portion of the energy-momentum graph. Therefore, it cannot slow down to subluminal speeds.
Wikipedia - Photon
In physics, a photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic interaction and the basic unit of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It is also the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.

um, hi. glad to meet ya. maybe you ain't alone.

Tachyonic fields have appeared theoretically in a variety of contexts, such as the bosonic string theory. According to the contemporary and widely accepted understanding of the concept of a particle, tachyon particles are too unstable to be treated as existent.[4] By that theory, faster than light information transmission and causality violation with tachyons are impossible.
Despite the theoretical arguments against the existence of tachyon particles, experimental searches have been conducted to test the assumption against their existence; however, no experimental evidence for the existence of tachyon particles has been found.[
Tachyons live in a strange world where everything travels faster than light. As tachyons lose energy, they travel faster, which violates common sense. In fact, if they lose all energy, they travel at infinite velocity. As tachyons gain energy, however, they slow down until they reach the speed of light. What makes tachyons so strange is that they come with imaginary mass. (By "imaginary," we mean that their mass has been multiplied by the square root of minus one, or "i.") If we simply take Einstein's famous equations and replace "m" with "im," then something marvelous happens. All of a sudden particles travel faster than light. This result gives rise to strange situations. If a tachyon travels through matter, it loses energy because it collides with atoms. But as it loses energy, it speeds up, which further increases its collisions with atoms. These collisions should cause it to lose more energy and hence accelerate even faster. As this creates a vicious cycle, the tachyon naturally attains infinite velocity all by itself! (Tachyons are different from antimatter and negative matter. Antimatter has positive energy, travels at less than the speed of light, and can be created in our particle accelerators. It falls down under gravity, according to theory. Antimatter corresponds to ordinary matter going backward in time. Negative matter has negative energy and also travels less than the speed of light, but falls up under gravity. Negative matter has never been found in the laboratory. In large quantities, it can in theory be used to fuel time machines. Tachyons travel faster than light and have imaginary mass; it's not clear if they fall up or down under gravity. They, too, have not been found in the laboratory.) As bizarre as tachyons are, they have been seriously studied by physicists, including the late Gerald Feinberg of Columbia University and George Sudarshan of the University of Texas at Austin. The problem is that no one has ever seen a tachyon in the laboratory. The key experimental evidence for tachyons would be a violation of causality. Feinberg even suggested that physicists examine a laser beam before it was switched on. If tachyons exist, then perhaps light from the laser beam could be detected even before the apparatus was turned on.

Then you have misplaced dna. This does not make you an alien. You obviously have a face, skin tone, and structure. They are still working. Congratulations.
No, sorry for you. Tachyons are theoretical. They have been indirectly observed and are there.
Let's go look, shall we?

It has been proposed that tachyons could be produced from high-energy particle collisions, and tachyon searches have been undertaken in cosmic rays. Cosmic rays hit the Earth's atmosphere with high energy (some of them with speed almost 99.99% of the speed of light) making several collisions with the molecules in the atmosphere. The particles made by this collision interact with the air, creating even more particles in a phenomenon known as a cosmic ray shower. In 1973, using a large collection of particle detectors, Philip Crough and Roger Clay identified a putative superluminal particle in an air shower, although this result has never been reproduced.
However, that's because we don't know anything about them, because we have not observed them.
The same is true with virtual particles. because again, there is no way to observe that which does not exist.

No. It means you are a mutant freak. It changes nothing about if you are from Earth or not.
As I said long ago, the chances that DNA is even used in the same shape on other worlds, let alone replicating Earth evolution, is so embarrassingly low you might as well give up there.
And you have a son, which pretty much proves you are human. Because your mutant dna is sufficiently human to mate with humans.
Maybe youy don't realize this, but the majority of human dna is from past evolution, viruses, and various other junk parts.
You're engine is a magnetic piston. It does not have anything to do with tachyons. It does not make FTL speeds. It does not do anything except make a fast car.
