FirstPrinciplesCould we ever travel at the speed of light?Traveling at the speed of light has long fascinated sci-fi fans, but the physics required leave little room for optimism.Nov 15
InStarts With A Bang!byEthan SiegelHow a failed experiment led to Einstein’s first big revolutionThe Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, despite expectations, revealed a null result: no effect. The implications were revolutionary.Aug 149
InStarts With A Bang!byEthan SiegelWhy doesn’t the expanding Universe break the speed of light?Just 13.8 billion years after the hot Big Bang, we can see objects up to 46.1 billion light-years away. No, this doesn’t violate…Jul 1812Jul 1812
InStarts With A Bang!byEthan SiegelAsk Ethan: Is alien space travel limited by the speed of light?Without wormholes, warp drive, or some type of new matter, energy, or physics, everyone is limited by the speed of light. Or are they?Feb 930Feb 930

InStarts With A Bang!byEthan SiegelEven “instant” quantum behavior is still limited by the speed of lightSome processes, like quantum tunneling, have been shown to occur instantaneously. But the ultimate cosmic speed limit remains unavoidable.Jul 20, 202314
