these scientists said they did…
If this is true Einstein’s theories would be questioned. CERN is a very controversial project. They have been visited by Will.I.Am and Morgan Freeman to name a few and they are the particle accelerator located in Switzerland. Now their scientists are saying they have broken the speed of light. Is this true? Here is what they had to say:
A total of 15,000 beams of neutrinos – tiny particles that pervade the cosmos – were fired over a period of three years from CERN towards Gran Sasso 730 (500 miles) km away, where they were picked up by giant detectors.
Light would have covered the distance in around 2.4 thousandths of a second, but the neutrinos took 60 nanoseconds – or 60 billionths of a second – less than light beams would have taken.
“It is a tiny difference,” said Ereditato, who also works at Berne University in Switzerland, “but conceptually it is incredibly important. The finding is so startling that, for the moment, everybody should be very prudent.”
The reason it is controversial is that many who are religious feel this is a project that is not what it seems. Feel free to comment with your thoughts.
Let’s check out another “strange” occurance at their building on page 2
Already been denunked
I heard it did
What if I told you there are particles that go the (maximum velocity of light ) ^10, but still agrees with general relativity?
Is that why there was sonic boom in jersey lol
Since they are smashing particles together, that are going in opposite directions, at just under the speed of light, those impacts are happening at almost twice the speed of light, no?
My only beef is, the scientist quoted, said that 2.4 thousandth of a sec. And 60 billionth of a sec is a “tiny difference”. Some quick math proves 60 nanoseconds * 40000 is 2.4 thousandth of a sec….anyone can see, that is not a tiny difference
No
The exact same thing happened of the coast of Charleston SC on Tuesday, literally the exact same thing… its 1 of the Navy secret jets
Scott Winn interesting!!!
There’s an article right below this one on my feed that says scients walked this back, it was a faulty wire giving them false readings?
James Strasser beat me to mentioning the timings quoted. I agree this is no small difference.
While I am not going to take the time to calculate the actual difference anyone should be capable of understanding the difference between thousandths and billionth even at 1 to 1 there are six places between 1,000 and 1,000,000,000.
While the application is not being discussed openly this is one of the most exciting discoveries in human history.
The exponential speed beyond light, I am truly excited to live in this era. 🙂
The speed of thought is greater than the speed of light if applied to distance traveled. Which is pretty much teleporting
Gravatons!
Then they found out it was a faulty wire?
What if I told you a particle of$#%&!@*flying out of my$#%&!@*is equilavent to the speed of light. Boom diarrhea motherf*cker
So when you brake the sound barrier there’s a sonic boom what happens when you break the light barrier?
They gotta make sure they confirm the results, didn’t this happen already and it turned out the results had mistakes?
Always believed that the speed of light was the fastest thing we were aware of. Still plenty going on that we are completely unaware of.

This is two years old. It was due to a mistimed clock.

Well, the “many people who are religious and believe the accelerator is not what it seems” don’t understand science, and their views should be ignored (or openly mocked.) 🙂
Quantum Entanglement is already proof that speed of light is not the “universal speedlimit”
The biggest problem with us actually grasping anything faster than light is that we aren’t capable of detecting them.
I thought they determined the data was flawed based off of inaccuracies with GPS etc and that the neutrinos travelled at the speed of light. This was also proven by the Japanese who detected neutrinos from a supernova at the same exact time as light particles from the same explosion
Now let’s see if we can get particles with mass to go that fast . Then we’ll have something to talk about
And i thought relativity was smashed a while ago
Dyana Greene, for all the quantum conversations we’ve had regarding FTL possibilities.
That’s because they’re traveling just to 500 miles but what if we do that in a longer distance ? Perhaps the times of speed of light and particle will be notorious

Possibly
The neutrino has already surpassed the speed of light by several thousand miles per second, and already brought Einsteins theory into question.
Speed of dark is faster. When light reaches it dark was already there.
Freaking Cern…
I knew it!!!!
Lol
Nothing can go that fast ?
Man both of yall are frikin awesome !
I honestly think people with youre smart’s,.. like both of you should take over the white house
This is old and has been debunked. Stop spreading crap.
No it hasn’t.
I believe you are referring to the fact that neutrinos from a supernova are detected before light from the same supernova is seen. This isn’t due to them traveling faster than the light. When the core of the star begins to collapse, the neutrinos are released. They don’t interact with hardly anything so they pass through the remaining body of the star much faster than the shockwave or photons produced from the collapse. The result is that they get here first. They don’t travel faster than light.
No. Actually it has withstood every test thrown at it.
You don’t. You need infinite energy to reach the speed of light if you have mass. If you do not have mass, light speed is the only speed at which you can travel. At the speed of light, time stops for the traveler making it impossible to go any faster.
Charged particles in a separate, high energy phase space-time fluid can travel much, much faster than the speed of light. This is just the second stage of understanding particle velocity in high energy particles.
“Although the speed of light, or more precisely its phase velocity, is the ultimate velocity in a vacuum, it can be exceeded by particles in other media, such as water. When a charged particle travels through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium, electromagnetic radiation, or photons, are emitted as a Cherenkov cone. The blue glow seen in the water in nuclear reactors is an example of this. This phenomenon, known as Cherenkov radiation, was first observed by Cherenkov1and theoretically interpreted by Tamm and Frank2. Since the energy and angle of the emission depend on the speed of the charged particles, the radiation can be used to detect and count those particles. Such devices, called Cherenkov counters, have made possible many prominent discoveries in nuclear and particle physics, including that of the antiproton3and the J particle4. Today Cherenkov radiation has been, and is being, widely used in experiments for identifying fast particles, measuring the intensity of reactions, detecting labeled biomolecules, and determining the source and intensity of cosmic rays.””

Quantum entanglement is barely understood. As it stands, you have two entangled particles. When you observe one, you instantly know the spin of the other regardless of distance.
Here’s a macroscopic example:
You have a left glove and a right glove. You put both into boxes without knowing which went into which box. You keep one here and Mail the other one to Bangladesh. When you observe the one you have, you instantly know which hand the other one fits.
Now, mathematically if you change the spin of the first particle, the other particle should instantly change its spin too. However I am unaware of this ever being observed in nature.
Science requires that such experiments be repeatable and verifiable by their peers.
No actually not.
Nice try though.
We wont know nothing until we travel through a wormhole..
Ummm no he was talking about neutrinos produced by our sun which have been captured and recorded as faster than light.. but only by a fraction of a nano second. Either way… theory of relativity still has the word theory in front.
Because we can’t see past the electron cloud. It can only be theoretically observed at the micro or schrodingers cat would be nonexistent until observed. On the macro so would the big bang assuming relativity is true (which I’m more of a plasma base believer).
If schrodingers cat doesn’t exist then if your in a coma hypothetically nothing exists.
If all things are entangled then how does one not change the entire universe by colliding particles at cern? Or by simulating diamonds? Wouldn’t that effect all carbon atomic spin?
