Earth-like Planet Around our Nearest Star Astrophysicists consider the ability of Proxima Centauri b (Proxima b) to retain water from its formation as the most crucial point in evaluating the planet's present habitability. Proxima b lies only 4.2 light-years from the Sun.
Speed of Light - A Universal Constant, General Background During the beginning of 17th century, almost all consider light as it does not have velocity. In the early period, many also assumed that the light …
Speed of Light; A Universal Constant but is Affected by Curvature of Space-Time The concept of bending of light by gravity was introduced earlier by Newton. But later Einstein's theory predicts that the curvature of space caused by the Sun's mass should bend starlight twice as much as Newton's principles predict it should.
