Cosmic gamma rays put Einstein's speed of light rule to the test

Original: Cosmic gamma rays test the limits of Einstein’s speed of light rule

New research using cosmic gamma rays is probing whether the speed of light is truly constant, a cornerstone of Einstein's relativity. By studying high-energy photons that travelled vast cosmic distances, physicists are searching for tiny deviations that could point to quantum gravity effects and challenge the limits of Einstein's theory.

Why now: Fresh physics findings suggesting possible limits to Einstein's relativity naturally attract wide scientific and public interest.
