<p><strong>New tachyon study could unlock the secrets of time travel and reality</strong></p>

<p>Interesting article published on <a href="https://www.europesays.com/uk/220692/" rel="nofollow">Europe Says</a>.  I have asked on Mastodon where the link to this was posted, that if Tachyons have mass, if this should be factored in to the missing mass, which I think we are suggesting is filled with Dark Matter.   So, another part of the hidden universe that has some mass.    We are trying to account for where all the mass is located.</p>

<p>I don&#39;t fully understand the physics behind all this though.</p>

<p>This was headlines on several sites,  while controversial, there is still a shortage of Radiographers.</p>

<p>To this end, I have tried to put some information together, with regard to the skills and qualifications needed for this vital role.</p>
<ul><li><a href="https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/radiographer" rel="nofollow">National careers service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/search/results?keyword=radiographer&language=en" rel="nofollow">NHS JOBS – Radiographer</a></li></ul>

<p>So from the National careers service site:-</p>

<p><strong>Entry requirements</strong></p>

<p>You&#39;ll usually need:-</p>
<ul><li>4 or 5 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), or equivalent, including English, maths and science</li>
<li>3 A levels, or equivalent, including at least 1 science</li>
<li>a degree in a relevant subject for postgraduate study</li></ul>

<p>You can study science with <a href="https://www.open.ac.uk/" rel="nofollow">The Open University,</a> which may be a starting point for research in to gaining what is needed.</p>
