RE: Speed-of-light experiments give baffling result at Cern

September 23, 2011 at 7:00 am

Why is it so confusing that something can exceed the speed of light, especially if it's sub-atomic? Can someone explain that to a guy who doesn't know much about physics? I've always thought that there was no reason to think that some kind of matter could not possibly exceed the speed of light. Is this not evidence that something can?
