Mathematicians from University of Adelaide, Australia, have extended the theory of special relativity to work beyond the speed of light. Einstein’s theory holds that nothing could move faster than the speed of light. Published in 1905, the theory explains how motion and speed is always relative to the observer’s frame of reference. It connects measurements of the same physical incident viewed from these different points in a way that...
