For the first time, physicists have directly observed ‘holes’ in light moving faster than the speed of light itself. However, this phenomenon doesn’t break the fundamental rule of relativity that nothing can travel faster than light. The phenomenon is known as optical vortices or phase singularities, which are essentially “dark holes” formed when a wave … Read more
