In the strange corner of modern physics where spacetime itself becomes the engine, the old rule that nothing can outrun light ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

The speed of light is the ultimate limit of motion, yet against the vast scale of the cosmos it becomes painfully inadequate.

On one hand, the speed of light is just a number: 299,792,458 meters per second. And on the other, it’s one of the most important constants that appears in nature and defines the relationship of ...

Let’s explore how constant this speed of light fundamental constant really is. One of the most fundamental physics facts is that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers. But can ...

So, you’re driving a car at half the speed of light. (Both hands on the wheel, please.) You turn on the headlights. How fast would you see this light traveling? What about a person standing by the ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to watch the inner workings of atoms. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne ...
