Abstract
It is shown that cosmological structures can be used to make tachyonic theories that do not contain logical paradoxes. A general-relativistic Proca equation is then analyzed as an example of a field-theoretic model that can have this type of tachyonic behavior. It is found that only one form of this equation never gives tachyon-type behavior.Keywords
