The reliable manipulation of the speed at which light travels through objects could have valuable implications for the development of various advanced technologies, including high-speed communication ...

The most distant galaxies in this deep field image from the James Webb Space Telescope appear as small, faint dots—and are receding from us faster than the speed of light due to cosmic expansion. If ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over. The ...

Science fiction authors and readers dream of travelling at the speed of light, but Einstein tells us we can’t. You might think that’s an arbitrary rule, but [FloatHeadPhysics] shows a different way to ...
