A group of internationally recognized physicists announced, that they had repeated with better results an experiment were they fired a sub atomic particle faster than the speed of light. The particle, a neutrino , has very little mass, but according to the current laws of physics, that tiny mass will reach infinity as it reaches the speed of light. As one prominent physicist put it, “if true, its like saying you have a flying carpet.”
More human understanding of the universe news, Scientists in Europe are asking their counterparts in the states to confirm finding of the existence of the Boson Higgs Particle. This particle is responsible for giving all other particles mass. Consider that if the nature of this particle could be manipulated, then we could have mass less objects that could indeed travel faster than the speed of light. ( this is my own conjecture.)
