The clever boffins have finally managed to break the speed of light. A light pulse was so fast that it "exited a specially-prepared chamber before it even finished entering it." picked by TheStep 1 year ago 15 comments edit related share science |
As soon as you are born, you are influencing light. From the day of your birth, you can see how many stars that light has reached. Works only on stars up to 50 light years away. picked by Moe 5 months ago 1 comments edit related share science |
It was supposed to be the one speed limit you cannot break. But scientists claim to have demonstrated there is the possibility of travel faster than the speed of light. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago 7 comments edit related share science |

Scientists at the University of St Andrews have used lasers to simulate a black hole in their laboratory. Professor Ulf Leonhardt and Dr Friedrich König used intense light pulses to create an artificial `event horizon' - the defining feature of a black hole known as `the point of no return'. The development may allow researchers to test Professor Stephen Hawking's theory that black holes are... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago 2 comments edit related share science |
