An international team of physicists has come up with a new theory that could allow for objects to travel faster than the speed of light, and while they say it wouldn't technically violate the laws of physics, it would lead to phenomena so mind- bending that it'd make the end of
Travelers moving faster than light would experience multiple timelines at the same time, according to ScienceAlert's analysis of the team's new paper.
You could ask how. The idea of three spatial dimensions and one time dimensions is changed into three time dimensions and a single spatial dimensions through a "1+3 space-time" framework.
The other three dimensions are time dimensions. The particleages independently in each of the three times.
From our perspective, does that make sense? We don't know.
It's a mind-bending exploration of an exotic what-if, as well as another example of researchers playing around with the idea of faster-than-light travel. There is an added bonus. The framework may help reconcile Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, two sets of rules that have yet to play nicely after many decades.
Dragan said that the new definition preserves Einstein's postulate that the speed of light in vacuum is constant. It doesn't seem like an extravagant idea.
It looks like it is very cool. We all watched how that one turned out.
The laws of physics don't actually exist, says a physicist.
