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. Tachyons are a ...

There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”. However, Lorentz invariance – the theory that the same rules of physics apply ...

Researchers at Osaka University demonstrate the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, which can help improve ...

Tachyons are a hypothetical particle generally thought to be incongruous with Einstein's theory. New measurements from an experiment near the top of an extinct Mexican volcano have placed a stringent ...

Special relativity could be harnessed to build a novel quantum computer, and creating it this way could let us use machine learning to deepen our understanding of the quantum realm. Albert Einstein’s ...

How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. We should expect to see not only phenomena ...

E=mc2. We've all seen this equation once in our lives; it's associated with Albert Einstein, physicist and figure of genius of the 20th century. But unless we're interested in physics, do we really ...
