Using ultra-fast laser pulses and special cameras, scientists have simulated an optical illusion that appears to defy Einstein's theory of special relativity. One consequence of special relativity is ...

An object inside our galaxy is moving so fast that it is on track to break free of the Milky Way altogether, racing through space at roughly 1 million miles per hour. The discovery, made with help ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...
