Particles recorded moving faster than light: CERN

An international team of scientists has recorded neutrino particles traveling faster than the speed of light, a spokesman for the researchers said on Thursday -- in what could be a challenge to one of the fundamental rules of physics.

If confirmed, the discovery would overturn a key part of Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that nothing in the universe can travel faster than light.

Have they ever measured the speed at which a tax dollar is spent in Washington?

186,000 mi/sec. It's not just a good idea, it's the law.

Or maybe not. FTL would be a game-changer, to understate things.

That’s not allowed. It’s a law....................

particle = tax dollar

[cruise_missile]

Called the Obama dollar particle.

Since the spending generally occurs before the tax collection, you are looking at pre-causalty.

Got that right! Throw EVERYthing out the window with that.

Neutrino’s have no mass. They can go faster than light

Instrumentation error.

[Red Badger]

NO MAS!...............

Well, if the cop going the other way is going 186,000 mi/sec and you’re going 186,000 mi/sec, would he not get a false speed of 372,000 mi/sec?

And hey, it’s all relative, right?

[Red Badger]

Neutrinos only allowed past this point..................

[Dilbert56]

Hey, the science is settled you racists.

Einstein said, “Time is relative, depending on which side of the bathroom door you’re on.”

particle = tax dollar

More like, V(tax dollar) = V(particle)x 1000

[DManA]

Maybe I’m wrong but I think current thinking is that they do have a very small mass.

nothing in the universe can travel faster than light.

The B-52s differ with that one. I respect Einstein but they were more entertaining;

“She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light”
