Sliding care-free through the complete emptiness of space, light covers a constant 299,792,458 meters every second. No more, no less.
A trio of physicists from Tampere University has come up with a potential solution to this problem, but not before reconsidering some fairly fundamental principles on the progress of a light wave through time and a single dimension of space."The only assumption I needed was that the speed of the wave is constant. Then I thought to myself: what if it's not always constant? This turned out to be a really good question.
Initially, their solution didn't make a whole lot of sense. It was only when they added a constant speed back in as a frame of reference that pieces clicked together. No matter what the wave is, whether it's in an electromagnetic field, a ripple on a pond, or a vibration down a string, measures of relativity and the conservation of momentum need to be factored into the equation as they pick up speed. This generalization was to have another rather remarkable, if slightly disappointing consequence.
