Lately, yesterday, or today, there’s a report that somebody has detected a particle moving over the speed of light!
o ma gawdd!
HERE
no wai
well how about that
They said it moves through the shortcut between dimensions. I don’t know about that.
Still up for peer review makes me very skeptical.
So then we can send information back in time? 
Um, no. Same as how teleporting electrons (done) isn’t going to lead to a Star Trek-style transporter.
Yes, there has already been an example of this, as I’ve heard.
Positron is travelling back to the past but we consider it as an electron.

How does one go about detecting something which moves faster than that which is conceivable?
CERN will have a seminar today on this anomaly around 4 pm CEST.
Would this mean that said particle can visually arrive at its destination nanoseconds before it has been sent? It defies all logic.
@Dr. Karamazov: I wonder about that, too.
@Dr. Karamazov: How could human know the size of the atoms even thought human can’t even see any parts of them?
@CygNuS: Where did you hear that? I want to keep in touch with this.
@Frozen Cham: In all seriousness, this stuff goes way over my head, I’d better not make crazy assumptions so I should probably just shut up 
It’s just exciting stuff I want to know more about, too.
All I know is there’s a seminar (press conference?) via webcam 4 pm CEST:

It is what it says: they themselves can’t find anything wrong with their data at all so they will ask other independent researchers around the world to do the same experiment and compare data.
Lol
Don’t say like that. People have to make an assumption for a better conclusion.
What I really meant is your second sentence (Thx for a link)
@ Frozen Cham:
Oh you mean this: “Would this mean that said particle can visually arrive at its destination nanoseconds before it has been sent?”
Well, that’s an assumption I make: If you’d do the experiment within the same lab, the particle could possibly “arrive” (be detected, actually) in point B before it was sent from point A, if only for some nanoseconds? Right??
Probably sounds idiotic
Oops…my fault. I just meant the first sentence about the meeting in the next hour.
That sounds like you are someone who’s getting into Quantum Mechanics. I wanna be a quantum physicist. This’s so cool imo, any way.
SCIENCE!
I thought they were solving problems with crowbars and shotguns.
Anyway, if Einstein was right, then we’ve discovered time-traveling particles that actually go into the past. More than that I cannot say, my mind is busy imploding at the moment.
I guess that wasn’t implied that it’s time travelling.
It’d rather be a wormholes.
PS. 5 minutes left for a CERN conference.
My life just drastically changed in every conceivable way now that I know that a particle traveled faster than light.
inb4 a photon travels faster than light.
