#1 This is an old story (2011?), since determined (IIRC) to be false due to equipment-related issues.

#2 Friend at Brookhaven National Labs doesn't believe anything this group says. They keep announcing this and problem's keep being found. Last announcement was disproved by a loose fiber optics connector.
Friend says the whole Hi-Energy physics group at CERN is very fractured. Lots of in-fighting ...

#3 Sorry. I pulled it from Facebook without checking.

Had I been in charge, we would have enjoyed the benefits of the warm side of the cycle, while preparing for the cold side to come, gorb dear, but where's the obscene profits in that?

Good catch, PBMcL!

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

#13 If you're travelling faster than light, what do you use for turn signals?

The finger?

#15 This isn't news. The article is dated 7:46PM BST 22 Sep 2011. I understand that mistakes happen, ok, but why it still on the 'burg? Come on mods, can't you just pull the link when this happens?

My policy is to keep the post up if someone has commented on it. Someone did.

We have other fine stories here for you to peruse

#17 Just think of the story as the sort of temporal anomaly that happens when you get close to the speed of light.

#18 Thanks for the clarification, further I agree with the policy. I learn something new every day.

But as a result of exceeding the speed of light it is a victim of time misfitting./
