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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed ...

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 ...
