Light Becomes Drag at Relativistic Speeds | Science News
Interstellar solar sails powered by lasers could blast us to 75% the speed of light—revolutionizing deep-space travel. But here’s the catch: at those extreme speeds, scattered light starts acting like drag, slowing the sail down. It’s a cosmic brake triggered by relativistic photon behavior. While engineers grapple with material overheating and dust collisions, understanding this subtle effect is vital for future star-probe missions.
