The news in subatomic research from CERN this weekend, was particles that travel faster than light. In an over three year project, particles traveling through the earth from Switzerland to Italy were measured by a 1,300 ton particle detector and determined to have reached speeds exceeding that of light.

Light was determined by Einstein in his theory of special relativity to be an absolute or universal constant. Many believe this to be an error by the scientists at the lab in Italy because if they are correct it means that Einstein was wrong and that the science fiction writers claims that if the speed of light could be broken that time travel woud be possible.
