For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical ...

Previous models explored the illusion, but this is the first time it has been actually recreated in a lab setting.

The hyperdrive from Star Wars appears to depict an ultra-relativistic motion through space, extremely close to the speed of light. Under the laws of relativity, you neither reach nor exceed the speed ...

If the Sun were to spontaneously cease emitting light, we wouldn't know about it for about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. The light that's arriving here on Earth, right at this very moment, was emitted ...
