    Something i don;t quite understand about this.

    If these particles are traveling faster than light, does that not mean that by definition they are traveling back in time?

    and thus arriving sixty billionths of a second before they left the original starting chamber?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    at speeds faster than light, time becomes imaginary, not negative.... I don't know what that the implications of imaginary time are...

    That's the time in which the stimulus program becomes effective.

    well, i think it's safe to say that all our ideas on physics have been destroyed.

    UPDATE:
    http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/...ticle-finding/

    "
    A loose connection between a timer and a computer led some of the world’s smartest particle physicists to conclude that certain tiny particles called neutrinos moved faster than the speed of light"




    Brings me back to my Physics classes where my teacher always reminded us to check our connections when something didn't work right.

    Just shows how through the testing is that after 5 months they were still testing and after all that they found it to be a loose wire. If nothing else its speaks to the integrity of science.

    In your dreams---they were hoping like hell to be famous for a discovery and alas--they failed. Scientists are wanna be gods and have lots of followers who can't stand the idea of a real God.
