Let’s try going faster

Have you ever wondered, in this vast universe, whether anything can travel faster than the speed of light? In Part 1, we discussed that nothing can travel faster than light. So the universe’s ultimate speed limit is the speed of light… right? Maybe not.

Moving makes you look shorter

Have you ever wondered if the length or size of an object can change according to its speed or the observer’s speed? Sounds ridiculous, right? Apparently, motion not only affects time, it also affects how lengths are measured.

The faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.

Have you ever wondered is time travel really possible, like in the movies? Surprisingly, according to Albert Einstein and his theory of Special Relativity, travelling into the future may actually be possible. One of the strangest consequences of special relativity is something known as time dilation.

The universe’s speed limit

Have you ever wondered what inspired Albert Einstein to develop one of the most revolutionary theories in physics? In this series, we will explore the foundations of Special Relativity — and everything begins with one fundamental thing: light.

Curiosity kills the cat

Have you ever wondered how curiosity can actually kill a cat? It’s not just a saying—it’s also tied to one of the most famous thought experiments: Schrödinger’s Cat, proposed by physicist Erwin Schrödinger.
