In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have directly observed optical vortices — tiny dark “holes” where light waves cancel each other out — accelerating to speeds exceeding that of light.
These vortices are not particles or signals carrying information. They are phase singularities: swirling points of zero light intensity embedded within the wave itself, much like whirlpools in an ocean of light.
The team studied these vortices inside a special two-dimensional material (hexagonal boron nitride), where light slows dramatically and forms intricate polariton patterns. As two oppositely charged vortices approached each other, they rapidly accelerated, briefly surpassing the speed of light just before annihilating.
This does not violate relativity. No mass or usable information travels faster than light; the apparent superluminal motion arises purely from the changing shape and interference of the wave, similar to how a shadow or a wave crest can sweep across a surface faster than any physical object.
To capture this fleeting phenomenon, the scientists used an advanced ultrafast electron microscope capable of resolving events on the scale of 3 quadrillionths of a second (3 × 10⁻¹⁵ s). By stitching together hundreds of repeated measurements, they created the first real-time timelapse of the vortices’ dramatic dance and annihilation.
The study marks the first experimental confirmation of a theoretical prediction dating back to the 1970s and reveals universal dynamics shared by many types of waves.

Indian girls,
Don’t marry a man you don’t like or aren’t attracted to.
If your parents are forcing you, file a case against your parents.
But don’t ruin an innocent man’s life.
Also, don’t give dowry to marry a guy. It’s a crime.
They left their husbands screaming
— “He cheated!”
Only to go running into the arms of someone else’s husband.
The hypocrisy isn’t an accident — it’s a habit. ☠️🤦♀️
HUGE SUCCESS : DELHI POLICE HAS ARRESTED THE WOMAN WHO FALSELY ACCUSED CAPTAIN RAKESH WALIA OF RAPE & HAS FILED 9 SUCH RAPE & MOLESTATION CASES IN DELHI
@CrimeBranchDP has arrested the woman & her accomplice Yashdev Chauhan who portrayed himself as Advocate but is a clerk on charges of extortion and criminal conspiracy
THREE YEARS OF EFFORTS ON THIS CASE
Immense thanks to Advocate @ashwani_dube who got the case quashed at Supreme Court and Advocate @advbharatchugh & his team for standing with us in our effort to ensure this woman is taken action against
Special thanks to Sh. Devesh Srivastava sir, Special Commissioner @DelhiPolice for hearing us
We @ekamnyaay are committed to ensuring justice to victims of false accusations 🙏
A married woman in Kaushambi left her three children and ran away with her ex boyfriend.
The woman's family blamed her husband, Raju Tiwari, for murder.
The innocent husband was sent to jail because the family lied about him hiding a d*ad body.
During the investigation, the police found the woman living safely with her boyfriend in Gurugram.
The whole case flipped when the d*ad wife was found alive and enjoying her life.
The court finally ordered the release of the husband, but who will return his lost respect and time?
