Scientists may have found a particle that goes fast than light.

If this is true physics may be changed forever again. I am kind of excited on how this might out.

**Sephiroth28** · 09-22-2011, 05:51 PM

Sounds interesting. Wonder how it will turn out also.

**XCV** · 09-22-2011, 05:53 PM

Nah, Mad Matt made three of them awhile ago, IIRC. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

**hi19hi19** · 09-22-2011, 06:07 PM

There's ALWAYS an exception...

**Bluearrowll** · 09-22-2011, 06:13 PM

That's actually pretty interesting. O_O

I wanted to say this but couldn't find it within myself to do it. Thanks!

EDIT: partial ITG pun: this particle violates causality.

**Artic_counter** · 09-22-2011, 06:18 PM

Wow. Just wow. If it turns out to be true, it may very well be the most awesome (and scary) shit to ever be discovered this past century.

It's funny how all of these scientist would go crazy if this subatomic particle was faster than the speed of light lol... I'm sure that Einstein would want someone to prove him wrong, indicating the growth of science :3

Weird, I readed an article this week about chinese scientists making experiments with photons, since photon's maximum speed was never tested and found. Turns out that, after these experiments, they found out that photon's speed, which was unknown, is still lower than light. The photons, being the "last hope" on finding something faster than light, just proved that, like Einstein said, nothing can go faster than it.

Now I'll read this article and see what is right.

Emithith · 09-22-2011, 06:29 PM

If this is true, Deep Space Exploration may yet be possible. Good work, scientists.

BeatofIke · 09-22-2011, 06:52 PM

Hmm.. interesting.

o cool. im in physics now. so everything i am learning will be false soon. AWESOME.

i hate physics.

**rushyrulz** · 09-23-2011, 11:07 AM

Just like light, we can't do anything with Neutrinos. It's kind of been like a 50 year project and all we can do is read that they exist by attempting to detect them with like 52 thick plates of hard steel located a mile underground. The fact that they might be faster than light is interesting, but we can't really do anything with it at this point.

uh wait

photons are the basic unit of light

wouldn't they travel at the speed of light?

idk about you bro, but I do tons of shit with light :coolface:. getting neutrinos to interact with matter is tricky but possible, so I agree that we have a ways to go before they present any sort of practical use to us.

What do you mean we can't do anything with light? We've been doing plenty for a while, now. Fiber optics, laser technology, we're even exploring a branch of biology concerning splicing photosensitive genes into the brain to target specific types of neurons and either excite or inhibit them using different wavelengths of light, that could be a potentially radical treatment for conditions such as schizophrenia and epilepsy.

We may not understand what constitutes light, but there have always been advances in the utility of something even before we fully understand it.

Well, putting in this perspective, yes. But, according the article I readed, which is from a sorta good brazilian magazine, it didn't happen. That's why I said, after my post, "let's see what's right" because wHo kNoW$

Calling it now: Systematic error

Sorry but I'm putting my money on Einstein. Suck it, neutrinos

Whoever deleted my post is a tight-ass that needs to be de-modded for being a tight-ass. My post didn't contain anything bad and was related to the topic. there are other posts in this thread that should also have been deleted if my post deserved to be deleted. just because my name is pure genius you delete my posts. You really deserve to be demodded for deleting posts out of pure idiocy.
