Summary:
If the neutrino can travel faster than the speed of light it will wreck Einstein’s theory of special relativity. The theory states that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.A team of physicists in Europe stated if the neutrino could move faster than the speed of light then it would shatter Einstein's theory. The results would be so big that there would be skeptics all around the world. The data comes from a 1,300-metric-ton particle detector named OPERA based at Italy’s subterranean Gran Sasso National Laboratory. If this becomes true that neutrinos can move faster than light then it could revolutionize science as we know it.
Reaction:
I think that this will be a big breakthrough in science. Even though Einstein's theory might be disproved, theories are suppose to be changed or proven wrong. I with this discovery if it is true then it could open a new world in science. This could expand what we know about the world. The neutrino moving faster than light could make the world a better place. It is a big breakthrough.
