Abstract
Quantum non-locality phenomenon indicates that there are superluminal causal relations among entangled quantum particles. One way to explain this phenomenon is Tachyonian model. In this approach, superluminal particles (Tachyons) are the causal relational mediators of space-like points. It seems that Tachyons are compatible with the space-time structure of special relativity; there are good evidences for this, but the problem is that just some of Tachyonian models are able to explain the quantum non-locality. Because of its ad hoc-ness and having strange metaphysical implications, a Tachyonian model doesn’t offer a good explanation for the quantum non-locality. However, this model has provided, as its good feature, a research program for Physicists.
