An expanding universe complicates this picture just a little bit, because the universe absolutely refuses to be ...

Physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) have made a mind-bending — and rule-bending — discovery: They've measured strange subatomic particles called neutrinos traveling ...

Faster-than-light (FTL) travel is a concept that has long captivated both the scientific community and science fiction enthusiasts. In a cosmos where light speed is viewed as the ultimate velocity ...

The idea of traveling faster than the speed of light (FTL) has been a popular idea long before [Alcubierre] came up with the first plausible theoretical underpinnings for such a technology. Yet even ...

Quantum entanglement has long been framed as a strange communication channel between particles, but the latest experiments ...

Cosmic speed limits can be a major inconvenience but they've rarely stopped science fiction in its tracks. When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a major ...

Scientists at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.

Faster than light travel may produce gravitational waves that we could see here on Earth. Warp drives may or may not be possible, but if they are then could a distant alien civilization’s warp fields ...

When I was a teenager, I was—shockingly, I know—deeply nerdy. At a science-fiction convention, I bought a button that read, “186,282 miles/second: Not just a good idea, it’s the law.” It was poking ...
