Einstein was wrong!


Faster than a speeding photon:
there is no speed limit!!

Travel faster than the speed of light is not forbidden by the laws of physics!

Neutrinos  ( subatomic particles wch possess a finite mass) have been clocked traveling faster than the speed of light!



The question of how particles acquire mass is one of the deepest unsolved mysteries of elementary particle physics. Neutrinos had been thought to be the only fundamental constituent of nature which did not have a mass. In light of this discovery, that long-standing belief will have to be revised. However, the Standard Model itself does not "predict" one way or another whether neutrinos have mass - this one of the many parameters of the model which must be input by hand. This is in fact one of the universally recognized shortcomings of the Standard Model, and why most physicists doubt it is the complete, final theory. A truly complete theory would predict the masses of the elementary particles rather than requiring them as inputs.
The effects of the very small neutrino mass implied by the Super-Kamiokande result will probably be minimal in terms of affecting the quantitive predictions of the Standard Model. More promising is the prospect that knowledge of the existence of neutrino masses, and an estimate of their magnitude, will shed light on the larger question of how the particles have the mass that they do. With the discovery of neutrino mass, it now appears that mass is a property common to all matter - in itself a highly significant discovery.
