Physicist at the Institute of Nuclear Ph
Physicist at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Lyon (CNRS) and head of the neutrinos research group Dario Auterio (L) chats with physicist Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the experiment known as OPERA, as they walk to a seminar to present the results of the speed of neutrinos on September 23, 2011 in Geneva. Physicists reported that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos can travel faster than light, a finding that -- if verified -- would blast a hole in Einstein's theory of relativity. In experiments conducted between the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and a laboratory in Italy, the tiny particles were clocked at 300,006 kilometres per second, about six km/sec faster that the speed of light, the researchers said.
