Last week Elon Musk said in one of his 100-plus daily tweets that “This is just a very basic first step. Earth and Mars will ...

Here’s how it works. The speed of light traveling through a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters (983,571,056 feet) per second. That's about 186,282 miles per second — a universal constant ...

The theory of special relativity is rife with counterintuitive and surprising effects, the most famous of which are length ...

We know that measuring the speed of light with an Arduino is possible. It’s just that the implementation is hard. [Udo] hit upon the idea of pulsing a laser pointer and measuring the time of the ...

In special relativity, the speed of light is the ultimate speed limit to the universe. Every single moving object in the universe is constrained by that fundamental limit. This isn’t something like ...

A series of new animations by a NASA scientist show just how zippy - and also torturously slow - the speed of light can be. Light-speed is the fastest that any material object can travel through ...

Much of modern life depends on the coding of information onto means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in ...

The speed of one knot was particularly remarkable. In fact, it appeared to be moving faster than the speed of light because ...

"We speed up the velocity of electrons to 80% the speed of light," Wang said. That's an acceleration of zero to more than 500 million miles per hour—over the span of just two inches inside the ...

The public will have its say before the installation of any cameras and license plate readers on Milford streets.
