Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a major inconvenience. With the laws of physics (currently) prohibiting faster-than-light travel, velocities are limited to a ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

The idea of warp drive—the ability to travel faster than the speed of light—has fascinated humanity for decades. It began as a fictional concept in Star Trek and Star Wars, fueling imaginations and ...

For decades, the idea of “boldly going” across the stars has been confined to the flickering screens of science fiction, dismissed by many as a mathematical impossibility. But a groundbreaking new ...
