Referenced article about the neutrinos faster than the speed of light.

What do you think? (not sure if there are any particle physics enthusiasts out there but I think I'd throw it out anyways)

did this last night when I put freeze dried popcorn in the microwave along with a spoon..

went back in time approx 12 seconds, heard a humm... and peed my pants..

Darn, all these discoveries... I'm interested to see if it's actually true though. Hey, maybe soon they'd actually discover the "anti-matter." I just hope they do the tests without any bias on anything at all.

This physics stuff is complicated...

I hope its not a calculation or experimental error.

You're 79 years late on that one - antimatter was first discovered by Carl Anderson in 1932, when he confirmed the theory by identifying positrons as a decay product of Thallium radioisotopes. :)

I actually read a bit about anti-matter just now and it seems like even though they've discovered that it does exist, it seems impossible for positrons to be harnessed and be stable.. Oh well, that's another story... :)
