The glow from faster-than-light particles gives us a unique way to explore the universe. Nothing can travel faster than light — in a vacuum. But when light slows down, sometimes matter can blaze ...
Nothing can travel faster than light, or 299,792,458 meters per second. But a certain group of particles acts as if it can, a team of physicists recently concluded, potentially paving the way for ...
With the laws of physics (currently) prohibiting faster-than-light travel, velocities are limited to a mere 300,000,000 ms-1. By any Earthbound measure that's very quick indeed, but it'll still ...
The speed of light in a vacuum is the absolute speed limit of the universe. Nothing will go faster than 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second), according to Einstein's work ...
It appears that communication can be achieved faster than light. The resolution to this apparent paradox comes from ...
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) If you've been following my channel for a really long time, you might remember that some years ago I made a video about whether faster-than-light travel is possible. I was ...
That nothing in the universe moves faster than light is a fundamental axiom of modern physics. The velocity of light is accepted as “basic constant,” is given the symbol c for mathematical ...
Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain 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 ...
To travel the stars without faster than light travel we’re going to need a generation ship. In the far future we may have advanced propulsion technologies, but what if those technologies never ...
How could the light from the explosion travel 3 light-years in less than one year? A simplified representation of V838 Monocerotis from above illustrates how the light from the explosion ...
