Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

In the end, the measured phase of the quantum wave sits 2.5 percent from the theoretical prediction. The result, the team argues, is a checkpoint on the border between Einstein’s relativity and ...

Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle holds at quantum scales.
