Contested 'faster than light' experiment yields same results
Hardly final, yet controversial, but extremely interesting.

Ian Haines said:The tachyon particle travels faster than light. These things pass right through us, and the planet, all day, every day, without even slowing down.
Wikipedia said:A tachyon ( /ˈtæki.ɒn/) is a hypothetical subatomic particle that always moves faster than light. In the language of special relativity, a tachyon would be a particle with space-like four-momentum and imaginary proper time...Despite the theoretical arguments against the existence of tachyon particles, experimental searches have been conducted to test the assumption against their existence; however, no experimental evidence[5] for the existence of tachyon particles has been found.

The tachyon is so much faster than light that it doesn't even enter our atmosphere until...*AFTER*...it has reached the surface of our planet!

It is not nearly as profitable to cure an illness as to offer months long or life lone treatments for a condition.Ian Haines said:All I ask of science is that it "proves it" to me, before it asks me to 'believe' or says that we should get excited about the applications of something science has not yet seen, or even found. Also, science has no idea of how it could apply such knowledge anyway, yet. Maybe the human mind is reaching it's limits of the capability of understanding the super-complexities. Maybe, the complexities will actually render, one day, completely pointless, our relentless hunt for new things to utilise (usually for law enforcement or superiority in war - and, maybe, the space obsession, too).
I just feel that science and humanity are getting further and further away from each other...I thought that science was there..."for us!"
I'd be a lot more impressed by science if it just worked on CURES for illnesses that we should have done away with half a century ago.

Skorian said:How do I say this. Are you refuring to the proposed possibility that random matter can be created by one of the methods being used to try to achieve cold fusion? Been a while since I saw it so not even sure how to explain, but I believe they proposed that it might be possible to create gold or other substances through this method.
Polar said:Anyways the neutrinos travel less than 1/100th of a percent faster than the known speed of light. That imo forms no drastic conflict with Einstein's laws. In fact when a measured speed converges to what is the expected maximum speed that particles with a mass can move, it actually strengthens the theory that nothing can travel faster than light even when they controversially, supposedly do.
This minor anomaly is either a systematic measuring error, or caused by an overseen/unknown physical phenomenon which would probably be fully unifiable with Einstein's laws.
