Can A "Hyperspace" Really Exist?The idea of "hyperspace" is suggested as a possible approach to faster-than-light (FTL) motion. A brief summary of a 1986 study on the Euclidean representation of space-time by the author is presented. Some new calculations on the relativistic momentum and energy of a free particle in Euclidean "hyperspace" are now added and discussed. The superimposed Energy-Momentum curves for subluminal particles, tachyons, and particles in Euclidean "hyperspace" are presented. It is shown that in Euclidean "hyperspace", instead of a relativistic time dilation there is a time "compression" effect. Some fundamental questions are presented,
