Every generation grows up with starships that jump across galaxies in a heartbeat, but the real universe is far less forgiving than the screen. The same physics that lets GPS satellites work and ...

Two physicists from the University of Queensland in Australia recently laid out a model for studying hypothetical time travel. Their work expands on what’s called the Alcubierre spacetime, first ...

Imagine you’re in a car driving across the country watching the landscape. A tree in the distance gets closer to your car, passes right by you, then moves off again in the distance behind you. Of ...

In late 2020, physicist Harold “Sonny” White, PhD, research director of the nonprofit Limitless Space Institute, noticed something peculiar—and familiar—in a circular pattern of data plots generated ...

Scientists have successfully tested a material design for light sails using photonic crystals that could achieve 20% the speed of light ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists have taken one more step down the very long road to time travel. A new paper combines the Alcubierre “warp” drive with the idea of ...

Scientists have taken one more step down the very long road to time travel. A new paper combines the Alcubierre “warp” drive with the idea of “controlled closed timelike curves.” Though far out, ...
