在一項代號OPERA的實驗中, 研究員發現中微子neutrinos 比光速快60nanoseconds.
可能推翻愛因斯坦自1905年發表狹義相對論以來, 現代物理的一項基本定律.

實驗發言人艾瑞迪塔多（Antonio Ereditato）說：「我們花了大約六個月時間，進行查證、測試、控制及再測試，對研究結果具有高度信心，確定了這個實驗結果才作出正式公布, 我們現在希望研究同仁獨立檢驗。」

But last night it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.
The science world was left in shock when workers at the world’s largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light
If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.
Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.
The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery.
Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, said: “We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.”
Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics.
John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einstein’s theory underlies “pretty much everything in modern physics”.
