CERN breaks light speed barrier

Sub-atomic particles apparently traveling faster than light could force a major rethink of theories about how the cosmos works and even allow dreams of time travel and extra dimensions according to scientists.
 
Jeff Forshaw, a professor of particle physics at Britain’s Manchester University, said the results, if confirmed, would mean it would be possible in theory "to send information into the past."
 
"In other words, time travel into the past would become possible … (though) that does not mean we’ll be building time machines any time soon," he told Reuters.
