09.22.11 | what's with the random 'r''s that keep appearing in my descriptions? |
Trebor.
09.22.11 | That usually happens if you edit your list |
tkxxx7
09.22.11 | rgreat |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | I should probably proof-read it properly next time. 'cause I'm a professional |
Acanthus
09.22.11 | Good article though. |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | yeah. I wonder how the scientific community's gonna react when they get to actually see the
readings/results |
SmurkinGherkin
09.22.11 | pretty mental but will need replicating and is probably down to an error somewhere along the line |
Acanthus
09.22.11 | Gotta admit it's a pretty sweet error though. |
Trebor.
09.22.11 | If true it's gonna fuck shit up in the science world |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | yeah, it makes most of Einstein's groundbreaking work basically wrong |
cvlts
09.22.11 | mind.
blown.
seriously wow |
Trebor.
09.22.11 | Einstein's gonna be pissed |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | I don't know whether I want this to be true or not |
Adabelle
09.22.11 | Yeah, religious people would say this is God sticking up two fingers to all of physics. |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | obviously Jebus was right all along |
cvlts
09.22.11 | or maybe humanity doesnt know shit about how the universe works? |
wabbit
09.22.11 | ...ya I was reading about this. It's probably a machine/human error but if not... Millennium falcon time. |
Adabelle
09.22.11 | Or they do and God was just chillin' looking down on all our clever people and letting us slowly get bits about stuff right and just when we think we're possibly getting somewhere, he gets trolling. |
eternium
09.22.11 | Hmmmm. |
cvlts
09.22.11 | lol Adabelle |
Trebor.
09.22.11 | The matrix |
Acanthus
09.22.11 | The idea of god isn't already a troll????
Still think this would be a cool development, new possibilities would open up. |
jefflebowski
09.22.11 | I bet god would have an epic trollface |
crazyblinddude
09.22.11 | That's interesting. I wonder how this will turn out though. Def gonna need to see the test repeated. |
tkxxx7
09.22.11 | Well technically it's already been repeated some 1500 times
but you probably meant repeated by another group |
RooseveltsGhost
09.22.11 | Hint: it's not extra dimensions. |
RooseveltsGhost
09.22.11 | It's funny because no other group can repeat the tests. |
MB05032
09.22.11 | It's almost certainly not a machine error. 60 ns is a really long time even to a PC. I assume their measurement devices are even more sensitive. |
lyon1535
09.22.11 | Einstein is probably going to rise from the grave if this is true. He'll be pissed. |
Acanthus
09.23.11 | Makes me want to watch the Einstein vs Hawking Rap Battle on youtube, vid is a favorite. |
Hyperion1001
09.23.11 | I saw this earlier today. It might just be an error but if it turns out it's not then the ramifications are astronomical. |
Ovrot
09.23.11 | E=MC Asskickings |
Hyperion1001
09.23.11 | "He'll be pissed."
He wouldn't be pissed, he would be glad that, if it is true, scientists were still discovering new facts about the universe and progressing onwards. Any good scientist is always glad to see his work proven wrong if it is with accurate data. |
Acanthus
09.23.11 | I like Einsteins opening lines, but then Hawking comes out with the 10 million........ particle part and I become torn in who won. |
TheArkitecht
09.23.11 | If this is true, this is gonna cripple physicists. |
cb123
09.23.11 | Interesting for sure, it does have to be confirmed though otherwise nothing will come of it |
Hyperion1001
09.23.11 | YES |
toxin.
09.23.11 | That is cool. It's nice to know that all my education in Physics will be rendered outdated a few years after I learn it all. |
Acanthus
09.23.11 | It'll be like Med school, you'll just have to keep going. |
lyon1535
09.23.11 | Is it saying they exceeded the actual speed of light in a vacuum? |
clercqie
09.23.11 | Hold your horses, fellas.
This will probably at least take another 5, maybe 10 years of independantly redoing the experiment... |
