Neutrino discovered to travel FASTER than LIGHT?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Recent reports indicate that neutrinos have been observed traveling faster than the speed of light, challenging established physics principles. This discovery has sparked significant debate within the scientific community, as it contradicts Einstein's theory of relativity. The findings were initially reported by a team at CERN and have been discussed extensively on platforms like Physics Forums. Further investigation and validation of these results are crucial for understanding their implications on modern physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's theory of relativity
