So, what do you think? Are the scientists wrong? Considering this would disprove Einsteins theory, what do you think the results would be? Space technology advancement?

Sweet, One step closer to the creation of the Millenium Falcon.

The Theory of Relativity cannot be revised. It is made completely on the belief that nothing can travel faster than light. According to the Theory of Relativity, objects travelling faster than the speed of light will go backwards in time.

Please provide a citation when making a claim, no matter how obvious you think it is.

Things traveling faster than light has already been found (notice that they use a medium to travel in) while the speed of light is measured while in vacuum. Notice that the press release was something of a leak, and that many specialists has been invited to Cern and that the experiment in its simplicity has been sent out to various universities and facilities so that a confirmation can be done as soon as possible.

On a side note; Einstein did not state that nothing can travel faster than light, he stated that nothing can accelerate to a velocity faster than that of light.

Quoting: "One of the consequences of the theory is that it is impossible for any particle that has rest mass to be accelerated to the speed of light."

Hmm, for those of you questioning my use of medium i mean medium other than such as ether.

The theory of an aether is long outdated, could you provide an example of a medium which something can travels faster than light in that actually exists? Alternatively, provide a source that shows an aether does exist, either one would add here.

It's been done 16,000 times.

If some kind of matter would reach the speed of light,it would deintegrate with the extreme force, unless they find a chemist way to reforce particles in an unusual way, or experiment with something non solid.

Physics doesn't work that way :|

wat does this have to do with anthing

But really they are trying to get a jet propelled car to do that

actually they forgot to account for relativity. they were using gps satelites and because they are in a different time frame the margin of error went up exactly 60 nanoseconds.

Now they are within the margin of error and this is beginning to look less and less credible.

If colors depend on light, and something goes faster than the speed of light, how is it visible at all? I guess heat signatures, but you couldn't tell speed from temperature. And if a particle is going faster than another particle and they collide (Which is inevitable with light) then it would literally split a light particle in half, thus creating the most powerful atomic bomb ever, right?

I never claimed to be any kind of scientist. I'm inquisitive. L2notbesarcastic
