Guys, this is going to be really interesting. If this is correct, modern physics would have to go through a major overhaul. Travelling faster than light is about travelling backward in time (time travel possible) according to Einstein. Don't just panic, let's see what's going to happen in the coming few months.
A meeting at CERN, the world's largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light.

The team has published its work so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes.

If it does not, one of the pillars of modern science will come tumbling down.

Antonio Ereditato added "words of caution" to his Cern presentation because of the "potentially great impact on physics" of the result.

The speed of light is widely held to be the Universe's ultimate speed limit, and much of modern physics - as laid out in part by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity - depends on the idea that nothing can exceed it.

Thousands of experiments have been undertaken to measure it ever more precisely, and no result has ever spotted a particle breaking the limit.

"We tried to find all possible explanations for this," the report's author Antonio Ereditato of the Opera collaboration told BBC News on Thursday evening.

Yeah Cool

I was waiting to see something like this.

And I always thought Aliens have ships that exceeds speed of light Now it seems I am right (Although in Buddhism as I know mind waves travel faster than speed of light so I believed that speed of light can be exceeded since I was a kid )

According to Einstein, breaking the speed limit of light is about travelling backward in time. Lots of things would be discovered shortly. Otherwise modern physics would need have to adjust all its formulas related to space and time.

Yes, I have heard that too

Err,
I'm a complete moron.I gladly agree about that.
but I have to say something.In my A/L class one of a great problem that I
had was ,

E=mc^2
^ why the hell there is no 1/2 there? where the hell that 1/2 is gone ?
god vanshes it or what?

These magic are the places where I lost my whole interest in maths and physics.
and now I want to research into computer hardware and os kernels,etc,etc.

E=mc^2

Which half you are talking about? It's a direct equation e = mc²

hell,
Kinitic Energy = 1/2 mV^2
So when we apply v=c [velocity of the light]
Kinitic Energy = E = 1/2 m V^2

who the hell told you to remove the 1/2 ? GOD ?

E=mc^2 is quantum (modern) physics. E=1/2mV^2 is classical physics.
Have you heard that classical physics do not apply(it fails) when it comes to describing the quantum particles.

The article was about inventing particles that can travel faster than photons (light). And it was about affecting the special theory of relativity which covers SpaceTime theory which was postulated by taking light as the fastest travelling element in the universe. Mass <-> Energy transformation (e = mc^2) was explained and proved under special environments such as atomic bombardments.

I don't need to answer your question since Herath has clearly stated that
