Seems strange, but by manipulating extra dimensions with astronomical amounts of energy, two Baylor University physicists have outlined how a faster-than-light engine, or warp drive, could be created that would bend but not break the laws of physics.

Time loop logic is a hypothetical system of computation that requires the computer to be able to send data backwards through time, and relies upon the Novikov self-consistency principle to force the result of a computation sent backwards through time to b

Three scientists believe they have discovered a method to make an image of an object without aiming a camera or sensor directly at it. And that could eventually allow Air Force satellites to photograph images on Earth through clouds, according to Yanhua S
