Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...
For more than a century, Einstein’s relativity has set a hard speed limit for the universe, with light as the ultimate ...
The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...
The universe comes with a built‑in speed cap, a hard limit that shapes everything from how stars shine to how cause and ...
The Sagnac effect, first observed over a century ago, remains central to our understanding of relativistic kinematics and the operational definitions of simultaneity. Fundamentally, this effect arises ...
Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and ...
Relativistic physics imposes one of the most frustrating limitations predicted by science. It tells us that an inescapable speed limit exists in the universe: we can't go faster than the speed of ...
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Light as we know it may be a direct result of small violations of relativity, according to new research scheduled for publication online Tuesday (March 22) in the journal Physical ...
