An experiment with light shows that one of the fundamental laws of motion may not always hold in the quantum realm.
Much of our understanding of how objects like tennis balls or bicycles move stems from the laws of motion, which were formulated by Isaac Newton in the late 1600s. Newton’s first law states that objects naturally move at constant speeds and along straight lines unless they encounter a force that pushes them to do …
