What is Special Relativity: A Guide to Spacetime, Time Dilation and Length Contraction
Einstein's theory of special relativity would revolutionise the field of physics upon its introduction. This is the first part of ...
How to slow down light until it stops
In vacuum, light always travels at a constant speed of 299,792,458 metres per second. Nothing can travel faster than this ...
Speed of light slowed down by changing its shape
Nothing can travel faster than light in vacuum, per Einstein, but in the real world light travels at variable speed ...
Supernova study might change how speed of light in vacuum is measured
Einstein's theories suggest that light can not travel faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in ...
Scientists completely halt light for a record-breaking minute
Scientists at the University of Darmstadt, Germany have set a new record after they devised an experimental set-up that allowed ...
Relativistic computation brings us one step closer to accurately describing turbulence
This might strike some of you as a surprise, but turbulence, a phenomenon we all encounter on a daily basis ...
Speed of light may fluctuate in vacuum, controversial studies suggest
Since Einstein first postulated his theories of general relativity, physicists have constructed models describing the Universe that mainly revolve around ...
Nanodevice lets light waves travel infinitely fast. Theory of Relativity still in place

After extending Einstein’s theory of relativity to greater than light velocities, the laws of physics alter
three-dimensional (right) graph shows the relationship between three different velocities: v, u and U, where v is the velocity of ...
NASA: ‘warp drive is plausible’ – experiments under way
We've seen a lot of concepts cross the realm of SciFi into reality, however transferring fabrics of imagination to practical applications which ...
Faster than light Neutrinos FINALLY and OFFICIALLY debunked
