As we all know that physicists continue to research with the
mysteries of the universe, there was one rule at least that seemed inviolable:
Einstein's theory that nothing could travel more than the speed of light.
Today scientists in Geneva however are unfolding a stunning piece of research that
could disprove this law - and can change our entire perception of time and
space.
They measured the time it took neutrinos - a type of sub
atomic particle - to travel the 730km distance from Geneva to a sister lab in
Italy.
To their astonishment, they discovered out that the
neutrinos seemed to have been recorded traveling 60 nanoseconds, or a billionth
of a second, faster than light
Researcher and particle physicist Dario Autiero was part of
the team.
"It is the first time that we have experimental
evidence of a particle traveling faster than light, which is completely
unexpected in physics as we know it," Autiero said.
Neutrinos are mysterious sub-atomic particles which can pass
undetected through matter, including the human body.
The most common particle in the universe, they originate
from the sun, and radioactive disintegration.
More than a century after Einstein presented his special
theory of relativity, this discovery - if accurate - could revolutionize
modern-day physics.
What do you think
about this research from the genius minds???
