Beyond
the speed of light? Maybe so. As you may know, Einstein’s theory holds that it
is not possible for anything to move faster than the speed of light. Well, mathematicians
at Australia’s University of Adelaide have extended Einstein’s theory of
special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. 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. Their
formulas extend special relativity to a situation where the relative velocity
can be infinite, and can be used to describe motion at speeds faster than light.
I’ll be watching to see where this goes!
