In this way, the art project sets up a sort of meta premise: The drone’s traced-out light cone honors the theory of relativity, and it wouldn’t be possible to make without relativity existing ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

That is to say, it is asserted that causal links and links of information outside the light cone do not exist, rather than that such links are more difficult to describe mathematically than links ...

In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over.

Special relativity is also based on a second assumption that gives the speed of light — 186,000 miles per second (300 million meters per second) — in a vacuum a special status.

The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length contraction and time dilation. If an object travels at a relative speed ...

The tachyon, a hypothetical, faster-than-light particle previously thought unworkable with relativity, may have some tricks up its sleeve.

But Robert Bluhm of Colby College in Maine and Alan Kostelecky of Indiana University say quantum-scale violations of relativity may also create light.

A light-speed event requires an even faster camera. A new camera setup has captured the first film of a photonic Mach cone – basically, a sonic boom with light – in real time.

To make the admittedly weird concept of relativity easier to understand, a team of developers has created a video game that slows down the speed of light. Relativity is the theory that space and ...

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has held up pretty well after a century out in the world.
