The speed of light is 186,262 miles per second. According to physics, nothing can travel faster, or, to accept some revisions to this statement, the speed of light is the absolute speed limit at which information can travel.
Modern Einsteinian physics states that it takes an infinite amount of energy to make any particle travel faster than 186,262 miles per second, the speed of light in a vacuum.
A problem has developed with this theory. Back in 2007, scientists at the Fermi laboratory in Chicago demonstrated particles that travel faster than light; however, the margin of error for the experiments and timing of the data were large enough to place doubts on those findings.
Now, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland have clocked the travel of neutrinos over a distance of 454 miles at a speed that is 60 nanoseconds faster than light. That’s not supposed to happen. The margin of error for the equipment is merely 10 nanoseconds.
There is a worldwide scramble of scientists attempting to duplicate these faster-than-light findings. The Fermi facility near Chicago and the T2K facility in Japan may be best equipped to duplicate the test conducted by CERN. Confirmation of this faster particle speed would shake the foundations of modern physics.
