  2. Parker Solar Probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Solar_Probe

    Within each orbit of the Parker Solar Probe around the Sun, the portion within 0.25 AU is the Science Phase, in which the probe is actively and autonomously making observations. Communication with the probe is largely cut off in that phase. [57]: 4 Science phases run for a few days both before and after each perihelion. They lasted 11.6 days ...

  3. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    [7] [8] The possibility of existence of faster-than-light particles was also proposed by Lev Yakovlevich Shtrum in 1923. [9] The term tachyon was coined by Gerald Feinberg in a 1967 paper titled "Possibility of faster-than-light particles". [3] He had been inspired by the science-fiction story "Beep" by James Blish. [10]

    PSR J1748−2446ad is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, at 716 Hz (times per second), [2] or 42,960 revolutions per minute.This pulsar was discovered by Jason W. T. Hessels of McGill University on November 10, 2004, and confirmed on January 8, 2005.

  5. Hubble shows the universe is expanding faster than we thought

    New measurements from the Hubble telescope suggest the universe is expanding between five and nine percent faster than scientists initially thought. NASA and the ESA measured the distance to stars ...

  6. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    Faster-than-light (superluminal or supercausal) travel and communication are the conjectural propagation of matter or information faster than the speed of light in vacuum (c). The special theory of relativity implies that only particles with zero rest mass (i.e., photons ) may travel at the speed of light, and that nothing may travel faster.

  7. Superluminal communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superluminal_communication

    In the Star Trek universe, subspace carries faster-than-light communication (subspace radio) and travel . The Cities in Flight series by James Blish featured ultrawave communications which used the known phenomenon of phase velocity to carry information, a property which in fact is impossible. The limitations of phase velocity beyond the speed ...

  8. Why scientists say we need to send clocks to the moon — soon

    Space, time: The continual question. If time moves differently on the peaks of mountains than the shores of the ocean, you can imagine that things get even more bizarre the farther away from Earth ...

  9. 2011 OPERA faster-than-light neutrino anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_OPERA_faster-than...

    The glitch's effect was to decrease the reported flight time of the neutrinos by 73 ns, making them seem faster than light. [16] [17] A clock on an electronic board ticked faster than its expected 10 MHz frequency, lengthening the reported flight-time of neutrinos, thereby somewhat reducing the seeming faster-than-light effect.
