Thread: speed of light not so fast

A meeting at Cern, the world's largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light.

BBC News - Speed-of-light results under scrutiny at Cern

Will turn out to be a calibration or instrument error I think. Bloody europeans, can't make anything well

Maybe a glitch in the matrix

Lol. If I was a cynic I'd say that CERN will make a bid for further funding to investigate the anomaly.

Methinks someone has put the decimal point in the wrong place.

does this mean time travels possible? lol i heard the closer u get to the speed of light time slows down so if faster would u not be going back in time?

time travel has always been possible but only if you have no mass LOL. My question is if the sub atomic particles were faster than light did they know the results before conducting the experiment? LOL

I always read about these things & the collider, fascinating stuff, was only reading updates on this other day, now this is being questioned, here we go another argument in that community.

What is also mind bloggling is the cost of the experiments, hundreds of millions.
