So I'm a bit of a science enthusiast and a friend of mine posted this on my facebook and I thought I'd share and see what you all thought.

just when we thought we knew it all, nature schools us hard.
i read that too, very interesting stuff.

 

Makes you wonder what we really know. Who knows how much we "know" that isn't true.

 

There still have to be follow up experiments that verify their results. Given the scale of measurements that are taken, there could be measurement error... Its not clear how they compared the speed of light to that of the neutrinos. Unless the experiment was a side by side comparison with the light traveling in a vacuum tube, it may not be apples to apples with Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Making a vacuum chamber 500 miles long might be a bit of a challenge though.

A discovery like this will turn the science world upside down as it can potentially disprove some of the fundamental assumptions that have been made at the core of what we thought to be how it all works.

 

i think the more we find the less we know.
yup if they verify this, who knows??

 

"the more we find, the less we know" <---- not much of anything is truer than that.
never put a man on the moon.
never break the speed of sound
the only transmissions will be analog & short bleeps (morse code)
a microwave oven - heating food without heat
plastic - look around, how would our life be without plastics?

There's a TV show that I love - Inventions That Changed the World. So many things we take for granted that were thought of & then put to reality but Joe Regular (or Jane Regular).

They measured that in what was it - 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light?!

Tiny for sure BUT lets see where they go from there & prove it without a doubt, make it fact.

Star Trek is becoming more real life every day.
