The concept of faster-than-light (FTL) travel has fascinated scientists, science fiction fans, and dreamers alike for decades. The idea of traveling faster than the speed of light would open up ...

It appears that communication can be achieved faster than light. The resolution to this apparent paradox comes from scrutinizing what is happening when—and more importantly, who knows what when.

In September 2011, the OPERA experiment at CERN reported that neutrinos travel faster than light. Nearly two hundred papers tried to make sense of the results in terms of new physics. In July 2012, ...

"Nothing can travel faster than light. But what if we switched the rules a little? Imagine a world where the speed of light was slower. Way slower. About the speed that sound travels at. In turn ...

All you need is a very powerful torch. Particles without mass must travel at the speed of light, while any other object cursed with mass finds that it cannot approach 299,792,458 meters per second ...

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.

You can never travel faster than the speed of light. At least, that’s what we understand through Einstein’s special theory of relativity, the revolutionary theory that united space and time ...

In short, if faster-than-light travel can occur then observers in different reference frames begin to disagree about the order of events. For a simplified example, imagine a ...

Julia Simpson, president of the World Travel and Tourism Council, speaks about trends in tourism in the Middle East, and the challenge of making travel more sustainable.
