60 nanoseconds faster than photons
Very, very interesting...
My youngest son Tim brought this to my attention when it broke yesterday. My first thought was "cold fusion" until I read it came out of CERN.
Here is the bottom line so far: "In the course of doing the experiments, the researchers noticed that the particles showed up 60 billionths of a second earlier than they would have done if they had traveled at the speed of light."
