It’s the ultimate speed limit — baked into physics, untouchable. But what if a lab experiment appeared to break that rule? In one test, a laser pulse didn’t just travel incredibly fast. It seemed to ...
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 ...
The constancy of the speed of light is a pillar of modern physics, but questions persist about its absolute universality. Advanced theories, seeking to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, ...

A spaceship moving near the speed of light would appear rotated, special relativity experiment proves
In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over. The Special Theory of Relativity, or special relativity ...
Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...
