  • @drugfreekoolaidman because this is internet my friend, genius and morons cohabitate

  • Dr. Michio Kaku says nature already proved CERN wrong. In 1987 our planet was hit by light from a supernova that was tens of billions of light years away and Japanese scientist instruments found the neutrinos and light arrived at the very same time. So would you believe a test by man over a short distance, or a supernova that traveled billions of years through the universe? Kaku says their was a slight miscalculation in one distance between the sensors, satellite, and the two cities

  • They probably didn't take the rotation of the earth into account. particles going from swit. to italy would most likely be in the opposite direction of rotation. Allowing it to arrive there "Faster" than light if it was traveling close to the speed of light.

  • THEY DID NOT DISPROVE ANYTHING. There are simply two groups of scientists debating AS ALWAYS, we won't know who's right and who's wrong until the OPERA facility in Japan conducts their own tests.

  • warp one engage

  • Chuck Norris craps neutrinos

  • The instruments they use to measure nanoseconds in this particular case is flawed

  • Traveling faster than the speed of light would result in a reverse in time. Einstein was right about special relativity, these fuckers are CERN actually made a mistake, not Einstein.

  • If the speed of light is (or is supposed to be) the limit, how can we measure speeds faster than that accurately? Surely they have thought about this, but can someone explain this to me? It's like string theorists mean that distances smaller than the planck length makes no sense. In the same way speeds exceeding the speed of light should make no sense.
