Extending Einstein's theory beyond light speed
Adelaide, Australia (SPX) Oct 11, 2012
University of Adelaide applied mathematicians have extended Einstein's theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. Einstein's theory holds that nothing could move faster than the speed of light, but Professor Jim Hill and Dr Barry Cox in the University's School of Mathematical Sciences have developed new formulas that allow for travel beyond this limit. Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity was published in 1905 and explains how motion and speed is always relative to the obse ... read more
