Last year, the world of Physics was half-amazed by the new
development presented by the group of scientists working at CERN claiming to
have discovered a particle that is believed to be faster than light. This
announcement is considered to be a major breakthrough in Science because as we
all knew, Albert Einstein-the father of modern Physics- has established a
theory known as the General Theory of Relativity which states that there would
be no more particle faster than light. This assumption of Albert Einstein is
the basic theory and pillar of knowledge in the modern physics and so with the
teaching in academic institutions.
I will no longer elaborate how they had come up with the result
because it was in the internet already several months ago and even become the
subject of discussion among Science-enthusiast. A certain Antonio Ereditato-
Physicist at the University of Bern and spokesperson- claimed that they have
checked and rechecked many times the finding for possible error in measurement
but said they have found nothing. He further stressed that it is now up to
their colleague to recheck their findings. That's how confident they were to
publicize the result of their finding last year, but now apparently and it is
over in the news again that a mistake regarding "cable loose" could
be the reason of the wrong data which disputed the light as the fastest moving
particle in the universe.
According to the report such as in Forbes Magazine, the loose in
data connection cable affects the time travel of the neutrinos particles. This
discovery of error in the experiment needs to be clarified again through
another experiment. However, this event is disappointing as far as the
enthusiasm to the earlier claimed.
