There's no actuality for such speculation "beyond c," that's part of the problem. But to collide with something "natural" requires "natural" speeds. Hypothetical tachyons are just that, hypothetical. What I think the eggheads do is use models involving a bunch of advanced math (that stuff with the squiggly lines and Greek letters) and then translate those models into common language - usually incompletely. But no, I don't know any article off the top of my dome which outlines these speculations. I'm not an egghead, I only play one on the interwebs.  Wink

EDIT - I did just google-fu this brief essay on the problems involved here...
