Tachyon condensation
In physics, tachyon condensation is a process in which a tachyonic field—usually a scalar field—of a negative squared mass acquires a vacuum expectation value and reaches the minimum of the potential energy. While the field is tachyonic (and unstable) near the original point—the maximum of the potential—it gets a non-negative mass (and becomes stable) near the minimum.
