In the realm of physics, the speed of light is considered one of the most fundamental constants in the universe, dictating the structure of time and space as we know it. But what if this cornerstone ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...

Researchers suggesting that the speed of light varies have come up with a numerical prediction that will allow their theory to be tested. Many theories in physics are built upon the idea that the ...

In every bit of nothing, there is something. If you zoom in on empty space and take out all the planets and stars and galaxies, you might expect a pure vacuum, but you’d be wrong. In­stead you would ...

Albert Einstein might be known for a great many things, but even the layman might be familiar with at least one thing: E = mc 2, the formula for mass-energy equivalence. However, a critical part of ...

The long-standing problem of the cosmological constant, described both as “the worst prediction in the history of physics” and by Einstein as his “biggest blunder”, is being tackled with renewed ...
