Faster than light

[url “http://gizmodo.com/5843006/faster-than-light-particles-could-wreck-einsteins-relativity-theory”]And harder?

Well, that’s an interesting one.

Because theoretically… those particles would have to consist of infinite mass.

I’m inclined to think it’s an error in the apparatus or whatever. Because if that wasn’t the case, that’d mean I’ve just wasted the past 5 years of my life!
[shocked]

So, technically, if a particle moves from point A to point B, it will arrive at point B some time after it has already arrived at point B?

At least, from the point of view of a third party observer it will.

Fucked up, eh?

Yeah, but not as fucked up as this:

Paul Barker was riding bikes faster than light more than twenty years ago. It’s time scientists caught up.

That photo… is going to stay with me.

That is seriously the last time I ever allow my mother to show you any of our family photos when you drop in.

Almost as epic as RASH.

Fuckin’ light speed, how does it work?

Light speed is actually pretty slow.
I learned this from watching “Spaceballs”.

Don’t forget Ice Pirates!

Yes, “Ice Pirates” is also an amazing and scientifically accurate film. Good call.

My mom wouldn’t take me to see Ice Pirates in the theater. I was pissed.
