Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...
The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light ...
There's always a touch of melancholy when a chapter that has absorbed years of work comes to an end. In the case of the ...
A striking reality faces modern cosmology: two of the most advanced telescopes ever built now agree on a result that the standard cosmological model cannot explain. Webb’s confirmation of the Hubble ...
In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.
Several leading quantum gravity theories predict that there is a dependence of the speed of light on photon energy, which would bridge incompatibilities between general relativity and quantum physics.
