Scientists captured the first images of the Terrell-Penrose effect, showing objects near light speed appear rotated rather than compressed in photos.

For the first time in history, scientists have succeeded in visually capturing the speed of light. Through an innovative use of high-speed photography and lasers, researchers have managed to ...

The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

The Parker Solar Probe, currently the fastest human-made object, travels at 0.05% the speed of light (approximately 330,000 mph). Reaching 1% the speed of light requires an immense amount of energy ...

Scientists use distant gamma ray bursts to prove that light maintains its constant speed, reinforcing Einstein's theory.

The principle of relativity, as initially described by Galileo, posits that the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of an observer's relative motion. Einstein's special relativity ...

We throw around terms like “light year” and “faster than light travel” frequently. But to really understand the scale it helps to feel how fast the speed of light is. The flight simulation video below ...
