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, ...

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

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 ...
