Faster Than The Speed of Light?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Last month scientists released findings which claim to have recorded particles travelling faster than the speed of light. If accurate, these findings will rock the world of science, shaking the foundations of much of what we think we understand. Now, scientists around the world are searching for answers: some are going through the experiment’s processes, instruments and data with a fine-toothed comb, trying to find what is almost inevitably an error. A few are exploring the possibility that these particles can actually travel faster than the speed of light, how that might happen, and what that would mean for our current understanding of the universe.

Marcus DuSautoy is mathematics’ answer to Brian Cox, and presents Faster Than the Speed of Light? for the BBC, which puts forward the important aspects of the situation in a way which is accessible to anybody with a basic grasp of science and, more importantly, an interest in the deeper workings of life, the universe and everything.

You can watch it via the BBC’s iPlayer here (available until 31st October):

 
Or, for probably a limited time, here is the program split into four parts and hosted at YouTube (just in case you can’t use iPlayer- could someone outside the UK please let me know if these are viewable?):

      http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/1249/082/Game_Over_for_Faster-Than-Light_Neutrinos.html already showed that they don’t move faster than light. Read before you write.

      George Elliott: Nothing has yet been proven, although your comment goes some way towards providing evidence that you haven’t read (or simply haven’t understood) either this post or the one you reference.

      I’m reading the comments on that blog Mr Elliott…

      seriously, isn’t it about time we broke the speed of light barrier just as it was once impossible to cross the speed of sound barrier?

    • Blogstronomy

      The thing with the speed of sound barrier is that it’s not really a ‘barrier’. When we’re thinking about the speed of light, the story is very different. The equations that govern Einstein’s theory of relativity show us that to accelerate something with any mass at all to the speed of light you’d need an infinite amount of energy. To actually break the speed limit of the universe, you’d need a more than infinite amount of energy, which makes no sense whatsoever.
