A burst of
gamma rays was picked up by NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope a few days ago. This burst was released from the death of a star that happened what the universe was only half as old as it is now. This has backed up Einsteins theory's of relativity. The theory of relativity states that:
The speed of light is constant and independent of its color, or energy, its direction or how you are moving.
This was supported because of the slight variation. 0.9 seconds, in the arrival rates of the gamma rays, even though there was a 10,000- 31 billion electron volt range. Others ting this had not affected anything because of the lack of control in the testing environment. There are too many unknown variables in too much uncounted for space. Fermis discoveries is important because of its effect on hypothesized quantum gravity. This will lead to more research and more discoveries in this relativity uncharted territory.
