http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15017484

According to this article, scientists at the LHC performed an experiment in which subatomic particles appeared to have completed the circuit faster than light would have.

It's been known for a while that there are particles that move faster than the speed of light.

I don't have a citation, so you'll have to go by my word on this one, but I remember talking about these particles with my brother at one point. He said they were called 'God Particles' as they were apparently the first particles formed after the big bang.

They have a scientific name for these particles, but I have no idea what it is. I'd have to talk to my brother to get the name if he still remembers it.

Also they can apparently slip between dimensions or something along those lines. Scientists have been trying to prove this part of the theory so that they can prove parallel universes.

Like I said, I'd have to speak to my brother getting that scientific name. Then I could quickly do a search and see if it was true or not. I'm not sure if it is true or not unless I can get another source.

Then again they may have been theorizing about this particle. I'm not 100% certain of any of this and I'm sorry if I came off as such.

>People without theoretical physics degrees attempting to grasp and theorize over implications.

nope.avi

We can all sit around dreaming up what it might mean, but Id rather wait for:

a) The scientist to figure out if the test results were legitimate and not the product of some minor error. An important part would also be to see it happen again. And again.

b) The scientists tell me how this affects their theories on the world, and the engineers tell me exactly how I can profit out of this in terms of new commercial products.

Yeah they're really hoping for another independent group to achieve the same results at this point.

And while I agree it means little to us directly, I think it's humorous how the last ~106 years of scientific research and discovery on how the universe works was based on a flawed theory.

if this is ture, Einstein's law of relativity must be false.

particles faster than speed of light = time travel
