September 23, 2011 It is a concept that forms a cornerstone of
our understanding of the universe and the concept of time –

seems that researchers working in one of the world’s largest
physics laboratories, under a mountain in central Italy, have
recorded particles travelling at a speed that is supposedly
forbidden by Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Scientists
at the Gran Sasso facility will unveil evidence on Friday that
raises the troubling possibility of a way to send information
back in time, blurring the line between past and present and
wreaking havoc with the fundamental principle of cause and
effect. This article was posted: Friday, September 23, 2011 at
