"Ye cannae change the laws of physics captain", well it looks like you can. It would appear that CERN have broken the speed of light (all be it for 60 nanoseconds

Amazingly, even at my very young age, I've been enjoying getting into quantum physics/mechanics lately along with space and time, and actually thought up of something about two days ago that [glow=yellow,2,300]MIGHT[/glow] have proven E=MC squared wrong, if you don't mind me rambling and want to know, let me know.

I'm no longer surprised when scientists reverse themselves, especially when it involves something that we did not have the technology to actually test or prove at the time of the original statement.

After all, they use to think the world was flat.

Laws of physics are only true until something breaks them...and even then they are just theories!

E=MC^2 is just a very small part of Einstein's overall theory of relativity...

I'm very skeptical about this:
#1: Quantum space-time leap (Or some other event that we don't understand)
#2: Instrument malfunction.
#3: According to Einstein any body with mass accelerated to c (speed of light) is going to see it's mass increase to infinity. That's why photons have no mass at all. And this has been proved a lot of times.
But let's see what comes up. Science is an ever evolving shape where nothing is completely correct.

Its pointless, if its not going to get me to my local Supermarket any quicker on my trusty Motor-bike, to take advantage of that "special offer"...... :-/....

Great, Great. Now we're ready to go into space find a planet inhabited by intelligent aliens, ring them back and then They start a revolution taking us all as slaves and torturing us and driving us extinct and taking over the America, Europe And some parts of Asia .
What Is Africa and the rest of Asia doing?

I've said it before in a thread on this very site. It isn't that hard to understand really...

1) Light has mass.

Gravity can only pull on things that have mass. Gravity can pull and bend light...ergo light must have mass. But here's the problem I have with that. Force equals mass times accelleration, and that SHOULD cause an issue. I'll give you an example...You go home to a dark house late at night, turn on the lights in your living room...and you still have a living room.
