On Saturday my mom showed me an article that really caught my attention. It is a National Geographic article entitled "Particles Moved Faster Than Speed of Light?" The main idea of the article is that a scientific team called OPERA shot particles called Neutrinos from Geneva Switzerland and measured how long it took the particles to reach Gran Sasso Italy. The particles ended up getting to their destination so quickly that OPERA believes that the particles traveled faster than the speed of light which is approximately 186,000 miles a second. If the particles did travel faster than light it would open up the possibility of time travel and traveling to alternate parallel universes. Before any conclusions are made, there are going to be many other tests to try to back up OPERA's findings.
