Einstein's theory of relativity is in doubt.
“You can’t go faster than the speed of light in vacuum,” said Albert Einstein in exposing the theory of relativity. This statement became law and is one of the foundations of today's physics.
Recently, however, the collaborative test between the Swiss CERN and the Italian Grand Sasso has shown that neutrinos can travel faster than light. Always with caution.
Neutrino is a charged free subatomic particle whose mass is one billion times less than that of an electron. The Sun sends them restlessly in large numbers, they cross the Earth from one side to the other, including our bodies, and they're lost in space. The essay has focused on tracing the trail of neutrinos crossing the Earth, in particular, it has been calculated that the time that neutrinos need to travel the 730 kilometres separating the underground passage of the Swiss CERN from the Italian Grand Sasso is less than that required by photons.
There is a 60 nano-second difference between the times when neutrinos and photons have taken a long time to cover the mentioned distance. No one has argued that the accuracy of measuring instruments may be responsible for the difference, but the speeds of both have been measured with the same devices ... We are going to follow this issue closely.

On 11 March, four years will come after the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. Researchers agree that this is the most polluting nuclear accident in history, but they do not agree on the consequences it will have. Assessing the consequences so far is... [+]
1964. urtean Higgs bosoien teoria plazaratu zen: unibertsoko partikula guztiek masa zergatik zuten azaldu nahi zuen. Sen onari erantzuten zion eta beste edozein teoriak baino probabilitate haundiagoak zituen egia izateko, baino 2012rarte ez zen frogatzerik izan.

Last year, CERN announced that it had located neutrinos that moved at a faster rate than light, but it was subsequently shown that the origin of the alleged finding was nothing more than a poorly made measurement. After that failure, there comes the finding of the particle that... [+]
