No yacht could be something travelling faster than light (7)
I believe the answer is:
tachyon
'something travelling faster than light' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'no yacht could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'yacht'='noyacht'
'noyacht' is an anagram of 'TACHYON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tachyon that I've seen is " One moving faster than light".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
