The Speed of Light Part II

Large Hadron Collider of CERN

It has now been confirmed that the Opera experiment that seemed to show that neutrinos moved faster than the speed of light was faulty. This means the neutrinos did not move faster than light.
And it also means that we don't need to rethink over one hundred years of scientific research. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is still valid and has not been disproved.
And faster-than-light travel has been pushed back into the fantasy realms of science fiction and theoretical physics.
