!! CERN claims faster-than-light particle measured

[GTaudiophile]

Now all we need is a warp coil and voila!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

No it's not. A hypothesis requires evidence behind it in order to create it. Tesla did not have any evidence supporting his idea that particles can travel faster than light. Einstein had evidence supporting his position that light is the universal speed limit

That's why Tesla was such a badass. He didn't need your fascist rules; he scienced however he damn well pleased.

I never really believed that there is a maximum attainable speed. Cars have a speed, trains have a speed, sound has a speed, light has a speed... just because light is the fastest thing we've ever recorded does not mean it's the max.

All I know is when you get anything past 88mph you see some serious shit.

[gophins72]

this particle is obviously a piece of the space shuttle

So when will Intel figure out how to make the Relativity Core processor, using transistors made out of neutrinos? Screw you, electrons and your damn tunneling behavior. Neutrinos respect boundaries. (Well, I guess they technically don't, but.....dammit!)

It won't be true for long as scientists will increase the speed of light in 2208.

Maybe this is part of the fed's plan for the economy, so they had to implement the early stages of the speed increase earlier than expected.

You see serious shit when you couple 88MPH with 1.21 giga watt.

Awesome. Looking forward to further confirmation and testing. Exciting!

Further confirmation will not be forthcoming.

 

[TheVrolok]

Further confirmation will not be forthcoming.

Why?

lol?

I hope this is true, but I smell polywater.

 

[disappoint]

Wasn't FTL already discovered when some photons were sent through cesium atoms a while back?

 

[qliveur]

Mind. Blown.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Pretty cool, but physicists have been shooting neutrinos at stuff for a while now haven't they? Is this really the first time they checked to see how fast they were getting there?

More like first time they have recorded such an event.

 

[BUTCH1]

OK so the warp drive thingy might be a go after all, cool...

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Why?

Because physics.

 

[SlitheryDee]

More like first time they have recorded such an event.

So they weren't recording the other times they shot neutrinos at stuff? Did neutrinos obey the laws of physics as we know them before? Maybe they weren't able to measure before because the distances involved were too short for the measurement to exceed the error margin.

no, as in actually having evidence... since these things are FTL, measuring would be a bit tricky. I would not be surprised if this is a chance capture.

 

[Malak]

I told you so.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

I told you so.

WTF this is not a religious thread GTFO
