data Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Quote "We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently." If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster. That assertion, which has withstood over a century of testing, is one of the key elements of the so-called Standard Model of physics, which attempts to describe the way the universe and everything in it works. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/22/us-science-light-idUSTRE78L4FH20110922 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide data's signature Hide all signatures twitterbandcampyoutube Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/68908-cern-discovers-ftl-particle-possibly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously there are those two big theories,relativity and q.m. one for large scale the other for small scale world explanation, and if Einstein's is proved wrong, that world how we understand it, will just disappear, philosophically spoken.

Cazador Mod Unit Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 hate that speed of light prohibition too. I remember reading a crazy theory about the universe being actually holographic but it was too cool so I discarded it as a sci-fi hoax, I think they explain how it is possible to be in two places at the same time like sup says, it's nice stuff for daydreaming..

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

Guest Super lurker ultra V12 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I can't believe those crazy theorists that invented tachyons could be right. If they're existence will be confirmed, we are about to witness (or contribute) to another revolution in physics.
