Do you know Einstein? If you do you would know his "theory of special relativity", in which he states that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Well in the CERN facility in Geneva, scientists have put Einsteins theory to the test AGAIN. Last time the scientists tried this a caused a lot of people to debate over it saying that something is not working properly. So the scientists came back and tried it a gain with an improved test. The test would be sending a neutriono from Geneva to the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy. The tests were exactly the same as the previous test, 60 billionths of a second faster, not much, nothing big. Before concluding this more facilities have to try it and cross out potential flaws in the experiments.
So one thing is concluded if it is true, htere is a way to travel that fast and actually go back in time. But one thing is on my mind.... what if the speed of light was slow and you could see it slowly spreading through your room?
Interesting fact: Women have a better sense of smell than men!
