   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.

3. Tachyon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

   A tachyon (/ ˈ t æ k i ɒ n /) or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always travels faster than light. Physicists believe that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are inconsistent with the known laws of physics.

6. 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 ...

7. Accelerating expansion of the universe - Wikipedia

   Thus, an accelerating universe took a longer time to expand from 2/3 to 1 times its present size, compared to a non-accelerating universe with constant ˙ and the same present-day value of the Hubble constant. This results in a larger light-travel time, larger distance and fainter supernovae, which corresponds to the actual observations.
