On a thursday night Antonio Ereditato a Switzerland Scientist and leader of the Opera experiment said that "beams of neutrinos, or subatomic particles, consistently arrived about 60 nanoseconds sooner on a 730km journey from Cern outside Geneva to the Gran Sasso underground lab in central Italy than if they would have been travelling at the speed of light – about 300,000km per second". Although neutrinos only travel 0.01 percent faster than the speed of light this will affect the theoretical foundations of physics. That has built up since Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity. Which stated that the speed of light is the absolute limit fir fast travel unless you use and unproven factor such as dimensions or worm holes in space."Neutrinos are ghostly particles that interact very little with ordinary matter".
The Speed of light was Know to be the Absolute limit. Well from what we knew at the time this was the most accurate guess because it had a huge leap over everything we knew of. The Speed of light moves at 300,000 kilometers per second That would be like going from Bonny Eagle High School to Pennsylvania in a second.
I personally think think this is a really cool discovery an that science will change a lot because of this and it might get interested with some of the new stuff we learn maybe neutrinos aren't the fastest thing maybe there is something faster or maybe neutrinos could be a power source?
