I believe this is primarily because no tachyons have ever been
observed.  As far as I know, tachyons are purely theoretical particles
thus far.  Does anyone out there know of any experiments that provide
evidence for their existence?

One of the cardinal rules of scientific investigation is: don't make
pets of theories.
