  • I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

    Don't stop me now! But Scientists have just broken the speed of light. Supposedly.



    Speed of light 'broken' by scientists

    But last night it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.

    The science world was left in shock when workers at the world’s largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light

    If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.

    Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.

    The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery.

    Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, said: “We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.”

    Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics.

    John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einstein’s theory underlies “pretty much everything in modern physics”.

          If this turns out to not be a mistake, I do not believe humanity, to date, has come up with a profanity blistering enough to express its awe. We English nerds had better get started, just in case.

            It's not actually supersonic though, is it? Superceleritas, perhaps.

                  Fabulous, perhaps, given the title. Not brilliant, as the photons have long since disappeared over the horizon. Except that they were neutrinos, but I'll skip over that.

                        Also, supersonic is not that fast, relativistically speaking. (still, awesome song)

                          I like how they have to confirm this with the Japanese.
