The Profound Link Between Light, Gravitational Waves, and Time Travel

Physicists at the Stevens Institute of Technology have revisited Christiaan Huygens' 350-year-old work on pendulums and used his mechanical theorem to uncover connections between the properties of light. By applying mechanical concepts, they found that the degree of polarization in a light wave is directly related to the degree of vector-space entanglement. This research helps simplify our understanding of the world by revealing underlying connections between seemingly unrelated physical laws.
