We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion? So we've all heard of relativity, right? But... what is relativity? And how does it relate to light? And motion?
A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...
Strangely, although we feel as if we sweep through time on the knife-edge between the fixed past and the open future, that edge—the present—appears nowhere in the existing laws of physics. In Albert ...
