Sources: BBCNews , Dailytech Astronomers have found an enormous void in space that measures nearly a billion light-years across. It is empty of both normal matter – such as galaxies and stars – and the mysterious “dark matter” that cannot be seen directly with telescopes. Scientists claim that a galactic void this large is far [...]

According to conventional physics, an astronaut moving beyond light speed would arrive at his destination before leaving. But two German physicists claim to have forced light to overcome its own speed limit using the strange phenomenon of quantum tunnelling, in which particles summon [...]
