This is probably nothing . . .

Cold fusion and all that. But ...

Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light.

I post this because as far as I can tell it has yet to be reported in the U.S. If it's true, just wow.

love the picture on the page to which you linked. i think i saw it a minisecond before i saw it.

yes. particles going faster than light would be big news.

I AM ASTONISHED at how little notice of this in the news. If the experiment can be reproduced, then there will be a whole new area of physics to explore, and who knows - warp drives could result ?? :)


Thank you for posting this here, even if it is off topic.

A. To prove particles can travel faster than light Q. Why did the neutrino cross the road?
