    Faster than the speed of light.

    Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light - a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's fundamental laws of the universe.

    Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, said that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.

    What is that, warp factor 0.000000000000000000000001?

      It's not impossible for objects to be traveling at the speed of light. It's impossible to accelerate to to the speed of light. Duh

        lol neutrinos... that's straight outta star trek!

          I am a dork and at one point read a Star Trek book.... also used to smoke lots of weed so who knows.
          I think it would be warp 1.0000000000000000001
          Warp 1= light speed
          2=10x
          3=11x
          4=42x
          5=214x
          6=392x
          7=656x
          8=1024x
          9=1516x

          Now we need to make inertia stabilizers. ..... and deflector dishes.

            If this pans out it will turn the world of physics on it's head. The ramifications are mind boggling.

              Just another example of how scientists really don't know much more than me and you.
              How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

                In the Grand Grand scheme of things... you're dead on right.

                  They just theorize a hell of a lot more than you and I do.

                        WEll prot from kpax disagree's and I qoute "I would say that you misread Einstein, Dr. Powell. May I call you Mark? You see Mark, what Einstein actually said was that nothing can accelerate to the speed of light because its mass would become infinite. Einstein said nothing about entities already traveling at the speed of light or faster"

                          Werent these particles accelerating?

                              KPAX sounds like they got their shit together. I'm catching the next beam of light going that way.
