Physicists suggest that tachyons can be reconciled with special relativity

by

Source: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel at speeds greater than the speed of light. These superluminal particles are the “enfant terrible” of modern physics. Until recently, they were generally considered as entities that did not fit into special relativity. However, an article recently published in Physical assessment D by physicists from … Read more

Revisiting the Theory of Relativity: How Modified Gravity Challenges Einstein and Dark Matter

Using gravitational lensing, scientists have discovered that dark matter can extend more than a million light-years from galactic centers, proposing significant adjustments to our theories of gravity or the concept of dark matter itself. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Groundbreaking new research shows that the rotation curves of galaxies remain flat far away, confirming the predictions of modified … Read more
