Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School

Success for a team of Polish physicists! Tachyons with a place in relativity theory

Andrzej Dragan, wykład podczas kongresu AI&EDU SGMK

“Was faster-than-light motion ever possible?” The new research of a team of Polish physicists that changes quantum physics as we know it was presented by Prof. Andrzej Dragan, Uniwersytet Warszawski and National University of Singapore at the AI&EDU SGMK scientific congress organized by Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School. The findings of the international team of researchers have just been published in the prestigious journal Physical Review D. 

 Physicists from the University of Warsaw and the University of Oxford proved that the previous approach to hypothetical particles moving at superluminal speeds (so-called tachyons) was incorrect. 

The authors of the breakthrough discovery are Prof. Andrzej Dragan, Prof. Krzysztof Turzynski, Dr. Szymon Charzynski of the UW Physics Department and Prof. Artur Ekert of the University of Oxford, as well as Jerzy Paczos, pursuing his PhD at the University of Stockholm, Kacper Debski, a PhD student at the UW Physics Department, and Szymon Cedrowski, a student at the UW Physics Department. 

We invite you to listen to Prof. Andrzej Dragan’s lecture: 

 

The AI&EDU SGMK Science Congress organized by the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School was held on June 13-14, in Warsaw. Just like the Futurist of the Year SGMK, the largest futurological science congress of 2024, it became an interdisciplinary space for the exchange of knowledge and experience of Polish and international experts and researchers.
