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 ...

Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving. Calculate speed using the speed equation - speed = distance divided by time. The speed equation can be rearranged to find distance travelled and ...

It might sound like science fiction, but it’s pure physics. A new experiment has shown what Albert Einstein predicted over 60 years ago — objects moving near light speed appear oddly twisted or ...

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 ...

Whilst the interstellar visitor was out of view, it appears to have changed course slightly, brightened, and may have lost ...

Astronomers have managed to measure the spin of a supermassive black hole, which could help reveal how they grew in the universe. reading time 4 minutes A team of astronomers has managed to calculate ...

Astronomer Avi Loeb outlines nine "anomalies" that he says support his hypothesis that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is an ...
