Exotic Matter is a hypothetical particle theorised to function oposite to normal matter, fighting gravatational forces in the universe. does it exist? is there a way to collect it?
the Tachyon also hypothetical in nature theorized to start as 2 atoms, non spiral in nature, it is theorized that one atom propells the other while slowing itself and propelling the other FTL, for this reason they have been undetectable.
agian does it exist? ifso how would these particles be observed/collected?

Sorry i dont know about tachyon till now, i have heard this for the first time from you. And i am thankful to you in this matter. I will try to gather more information on this topic, then probably i will try to answer your question.
You seem to be very interested in the feild of science. I have seen many of your questions and they are really interesting. Keep it up.

Well, some physicists believe that "anything that is not forbidden is compulsory" so tachyons and exotic matter MUST exist. Unfortunately there is no evidence for them and whilst I don't know anything about exotic matter, I know that tachyons apparently exist in a slightly separate universe than our tardyon universe (makes ours sound so lazy!) separated by a wall of particles which travel at exactly light speed. As tachyons are travelling at faster than the speed of light, they are operating according to different laws and moving in a separate timescale so I can see no way that we could collect them from within our own physical state. It would be like bringing something back from a dream, objects aren't transferable between the two worlds. Of course, I have no training in physics whatsoever so what do I know?! If you do get hold of a tachyon and work out how to observe it (persuade it to sit still!!) let me know!

unfortunately this is not my field of activity, i can not answer your question, but you could explain it...
