Scientists from the University of Warsaw in Poland and the National University of Singapore are pushing the limits of relativity with a new theory called the "extension of special relativity," a report from Science Alert reveals.

The new theory combines three time dimensions with a single space dimension ("1+3 space-time"), providing an alternative, mind-bending scenario to the three spatial dimensions and one time dimension we all know.

The scientists' new study suggests that objects may be able to go faster than the speed of light without completely shattering our current laws of physics.

Ultimately, it describes how observations made by "superluminal" observers — observers traveling faster than the speed of light — may appear.
