Reuters reported that scientists have made the amazing observation of sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light. This puts into question Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity that states nothing in the universe can travel faster than light.

Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, told Reuters that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.

"It is a tiny difference," said Ereditato, who also works at Berne University in Switzerland, "but conceptually it is incredibly important. The finding is so startling that, for the moment, everybody should be very prudent."
