Every now and then, a scientific discovery delivers to us smug mortals a healthy kick in the head: reminding us that for all our bravado we still don’t know squat about how the universe really works!
Neutrino particle traveling faster than light? Two ways it could rewrite physics.
European scientists are shocked by an experiment that showed neutrino particles moving faster than light. The result, if confirmed, could challenge Einstein’s signature theory on relativity or point to a universe of more than four dimensions.

If I were a betting man I’d bet that they’ll eventually find a measurement error that accounts for the apparent anomaly. But I hope not, because that will mean that warp speed to totally possible!
