What Travels Faster Than the Speed of Light?

Neutrinos, baby! Take that, Einstein! S0 much for your theory of relativity!

CERN clocked the little dudes doing 60 nanoseconds faster than light could keep up with, but the experiment has to be reproducible because science ain't like religion. You gotta verify your claims.

So before we sell our Corvettes and check out the neutrino dealership, we'll just have to wait and see if the folks in Switzerland can catch another one in the act of passing up the flash bulb.

What does this mean? Well, for one thing we now have an idea how Scotty managed to beam up Kirk. And you probably thought it was the magic of TV.
