I didn't think anything moved faster than the speed of light. But neutrinos do. I wonder what would have happened if Einstein's theories turned out to be untrue. Wait—is this article really true because they said they needed more information to test their hypothesis. This was a really cool article and if they can prove it that would be awesome.
This is a weird finding, I actually heard about Neutrinos moving faster than light in room 4, but now I realize that if E=MC2 is an underestimate, it is possible to get even more energy than an atomic bomb! (I hope the military doesn't find out...)
P.S.
The formating on the blog looks weird
I never knew that anything could move faster than the speed of light either, but I guess neutrinos do. I agree with Cypress about the fact that if they do get more information to test their hypothesis and prove their point, it would be an even better article.
When Einstein theorized that light was the fastest known thing, he also theorized that time stops when you travel the speed of light because of his theories of relativity. But, if light is trying to get somewhere 70 light years away, it still takes 70 years. I think that there is indeed something that travels more than the speed of light.
I think this is amazing! Boo Enstien! I didn't think anything could move faster than the speed of light. I hope this proves to be true. Time Travel, here we come!
Maybe this is true. But even so, I think that all it will do is raise the absolute limit for speed and create more energy for the same amount of matter. In the article, it said "Rewriting the theories based on this speed limit would have made an array of science fiction ideas more plausible." However, I think this is untrue. Fiction would still be fiction.
This finding depends on very advanced technology to measure the speed of the neutrinos and compare it to the speed of light. Until they can prove that their measurements are accurate and repeatable, we can’t depend on their results.
