  Tau (Warhammer 40,000) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tau are a relatively young race, but their technology is extremely advanced (inferior only to the Necrons and the Eldar), so much so that the Imperium of Man has of late been wondering if the technological advances were all the Tau's doing.
The Tau are another interstellar society that manages to combat all its threats and thrive, without nearly as much of the draconian oppressiveness and extreme brutality of the Imperium's regime and thus a manner of emphasizing how far the Imperium has fallen from a modern viewpoint.
The Tau characters in the novel also contrast with the brutish, militant humans with their, calm, patient and quiet personalities which expose philosophies similar to the real-world religion that is a homonym of their name: Taoism.

 Tau Ceti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Tau Ceti is a main sequence, yellow-orange dwarf (G8 Vp) that may be as much as 10 billion years old.
Given Tau Ceti's estimated age of 10 billion years, the estimated mass of its dust disk fits its expected decline with time compared to the disk mass of the younger nearby star Epsilon Eridani, which may only be 500 million to one billion years old.
Modelling of Tau Ceti's dust disk observations by the astronomers indicate, however, that the mass of the colliding bodies up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in size may total around 1.2 Earth-masses, compared with 0.1 Earth-masses estimated to be in the Solar System's Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt (Greaves et al, 2004).

 The Tau Home Page
Tau is motivated by what has been learned about end-to-end protocol design and implementation in the past ten years.
The basic design premise of Tau is that it should be possible to maintain modularity of implementation (and thus increase code reusability) and still support high-performance implementation techniques, by using an explicit composition mechanism instead of layered encapsulation.
The official Tau specification is in flux, and probably will be for a while, but some parts are stable.

 The Tau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In this Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures (which Christians call the "Old Testamente") the tau was written as a T. Naturally, then, for Christians the T came to represent the cross of Christ as being the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises.
It is no doubt then that Francis eventually accepted an adapted the T as his own crest or signature combining the ancient imagery of life-long fidelity to the passion of Christ which carried with it the command to serve the least, the lepers of his day.
With arms outstretched, Francis often told his brother friars that their religious habit was in the same shape as the tau, T, meaning that they were called to be walking "crucifixes", models of a compassionate God and examples of faithfulness until their dying day.

 Pan Tau by Thomas Staedeli
Pan Tau is a friend of children able to change his appearance into a puppet by tapping with his fingers on his bowler.
To the most successful episodes count those where Pan Tau together with Claudia and her grandfather rove through the land as tramps, and of course the climax of the serial with the Urban family who lives on the outskirts of Prag together with three generations.
After Pan Tau had found the lost one and had brought him back to his family the craziest situations arose, particularly since Alphons appeared double from time to time (of course the double was Pan Tau).

 Physics News Update Number 495 - Story DIRECT EVIDENCE FOR TAU NEUTRINOS
While the existence of neutrinos associated with the tau lepton was not in doubt, actually observing the particle interact had not occurred until now.
The evidence for the tau neutrino is slim but impressive: five scattering events are being exhibited at the seminar by Fermilab physicist Byron Lundberg, leader of Experiment 872, the Direct Observation of Nu Tau (or DONUT) collaboration (http://fn872.fnal.gov/).
Evidence for a tau neutrino in the emulsion is the creation of a tau lepton, which itself quickly decays (after traveling about 1 mm) into other particles.

My Tau banners are meant to be Japanese in style (in fact, the entire army is), so they'll have the characteristic dimensions of large height to smaller width like Samurai banners.
For the painting, I used the same green colors which are present on the gems of the rest of the Tau for the Stealth suits' main body color.

 The Tau Cross and St. Francis | Roman Crucifixion | Part 10: Life of Saint Francis of Assisi
In commenting on the scriptures of Israel, the early Christian writers used its Greek translation, the Septuagint, in which the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the tau, was transcribed as a “T” in Greek.
The Tau imagery was intensified when Pope Innocent III opened the Fourth Latern Council (1215) using the exhortation of the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel (9:4): We are called to reform our lives, to stand in the presence of God as righteous people.
This symbolic imagery, used by the same Pope who commissioned Francis’ new community a brief five years earlier, was immediately taken to heart as the friars’ call to reform.
