Electricity: Faster than light!
The experiments of Sir Charles Wheatstone showed that the velocity of electricity is about 288,000 miles per second, much greater than the speed of light, which we all consider as the ultimate barrier. [1, 2, 3, 4] However in order to interpret this we must understand what “electricity” is. In fact we do not have…

Hidden Symmetry
Two Rutgers physics professors have proposed an explanation for a new type of order, or symmetry, in an exotic material made with uranium. When cooled to 17.5 degrees above absolute zero or lower, the flow of electricity through this material changes subtly. The material essentially acts like an electronic version of polarized sunglasses, he explains.…
