Re: Imaginary mass?

Anybody heard about an imaginary mass?
Because while looking at the mathematical development of the
relativists equation, i (re)discovered that
E=((mo)c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), with mo being the rest mass. That would
implies that anything moving faster that light(say like a tachyon
particle) would be divided and imaginary number. For the energy to
stay reel, mass would need to be imaginary also.
If photons are
being emitted at c without acceleration, nothing should prevent other
particle, like the yet undetected tachyon, from being created with
initial speed >c.

Rather than worrying about faster than light what about all of the
slower consequences?
By introducing complex mass it may be possible to do away with charge.
The magnetic monopole could go away or become real mass.
There is a natural three-pole solution that develops complex numbers as
a natural extension from the real numbers by raising the number of
signs:

Perhaps the natural discrete solutions are triples composing a zero
sum.
The opposing signs are symmetrical under product and a neutral sign
coexists.
Complex mass is a good idea. To me it reeks of joining mass with
charge.
Look at Maxwell's equations and the symmetries.
Look at the classical force equations and their symmetry.
