The speed of light appears to have been broken again after scientists carried out a new set of experiments to test measurements that could require the laws of physics to be rewritten.
A meeting at Cern, the worlds largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light.
The team presented its work so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes.
If it does not, one of the pillars of modern science will come tumbling down.
Antonio Ereditato added words of caution to his Cern presentation because of the potentially great impact on physics of the result.
The speed of light is widely held to be the Universes ultimate speed limit, and much of modern physics as laid out in part by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity depends on the idea that nothing can exceed it.
Thousands of experiments have been undertaken to measure it ever more precisely, and no result has ever spotted a particle breaking the limit.
They recorded neutrinos travelling at 300,006 kilometres per second in a 450-mile underground tunnel between Switzerland and Italy. Light travels at 299,792 kilometres per second.
What do you guys think?
P.s i couldn't find the article this came up on my facebook newsfeed sorry.

Wow! That's fast! I wonder if they'll let me try this...

This could be both good and bad. Think of the possibilities of travel if it's true, but our basis of universal laws would have to be looked at in a completely new way.

Scientists need to stop **** with life. The more they 'research' the more truth they will find that they didnt want to know. And when they trey to keep it a secret, someone leaks it and everyone freaks over something that may not even happen. Yes, i know without them we wouldnt have cures for sickness and whatnot. But now since they figured how to beat the speed of light, military techinitions will want the 'parts' to make a jet so-say. And then they will need a source of fuel for it, and then we have adding problems to our life forms.

Hasn't this been known for a while now? Or am I wrong?..
