speeding ticket

The CERN in Switzerland measured the time it took for neutrinos to travel to another laboratory located in Italy. The neutrinos showed up in Italy 60 billionths of a second earlier than they would have if they had traveled at the speed of light.

Meaning the neutrinos traveled faster than the speed of light.

---

They measured this some 16,000 times, hoping to find an error.
They recently released their research because they couldn't find an error and are hoping somebody else will.

Ting-a-ling.
