A study published this week proposes that darkness travels faster than light — a claim that, if substantiated, would unravel the foundational architecture of modern physics established by Einstein over a century ago. Emerging from reporting by O Globo, the research invites us to ask an ancient question in a new register: does the absence of something obey the same laws as the thing itself? The scientific community, shaped by hard-won discipline, responds not with alarm but with the measured demand it always makes of the extraordinary — prove it.
