Unlearning Beyond the Speed of Light
Posted in Science
Are you prepared to unlearn faster than the speed of light? You may need to because new results suggest (but are not yet proven) that neutrinos are moving faster than the speed of light.
If true, this will call into question the General Theory of Relativity–one of the Cardinal Rules of physics.
At this point the results must be treated very carefully and, of course, they will need to be verified my multiple groups of scientists. But, by the same token, skeptics will also need to keep an open mind to the distinct possibility that many of the rules of modern physics may need to be unlearned and then rewritten.
Who knows time travel might now be a real, albeit distant, possibility.
