Opera experiment breaks the speed of light, and Einstein’s theory


In a very recent test conducted by scientists within the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, Albert Einstein’s 1905 theory of nothing being able to travel faster than the speed of light has been proven wrong, or at least it would appear to have been.
The recent test conducted by CERN scientists involved firing clusters of tiny, subatomic particles called neutrinos all the way to a detector at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. Now according to the scientists, these neutrinos got to this detector way too soon, by a science staggering amount of 60 nanoseconds, and with it breaking the speed of light. If this evidence holds up (it is currently undergoing observation and tests to disprove it) then it has serious complications for science as we know it today, and we would literally have to rewrite the majority of rules applied to physics currently. READ THE FULL ARTICLE: TechnologyBlogged
