  • Different Speeds of Light? Scientists Observe Wacky Behavior of Neutron Star

    Scientists point toward a neutron star 400 light-years away that may literally shake the foundation of quantum physics. When polarized, light from that specific neutron star has proven that its ultraintense magnetic field is capable of distorting empty space through a quantum mechanical effect that involves "virtual" particles in the said vacuum. This was behavior only previously seen on the atomic level.
