Faster-Than-Light Particle Results To Be Re-Tested

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-your-work dept.

surewouldoutlaw writes "After the astonishing news from CERN that the OPERA experiment had detected neutrinos traveling faster than light speed, challenging Einstein's theory of special relativity, there has been some skepticism over the results. Now Fermilab, near Chicago, has announced it will attempt to replicate the experimental results within four to six months."

    There once was a lady named Bright,
    Who could travel faster than light.
    She left one day
    In a relative way
    And came back the previous night.

    So, either you already saw it coming, or you didn't :-)

    Now, to understand it better, read All You Zombies by Robert Heinlein (pdf of complete story). Considered by many to be the greatest time travel short story ever.
