Chinese scientists have set a new global speed record after successfully testing a superconducting maglev train that reached 700 kilometres per hour in ...

An experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Terrell-Penrose effect, first made over 60 years ago. When an object approaches the speed of light ...

The constancy of the speed of light is a pillar of modern physics, but questions persist about its absolute universality. Advanced theories, seeking to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...
