So, remember back in the fall when scientists at CERN announced that they may have seen motion faster than the speed of light? Well, as always with new scientific discoveries, the experiment has been reviewed and it seems like there might be a non-Einstein-crushing reason for the measurements. Apparently there may have been a loose cable between a gps unit and the clock used in the experiment... Just goes to show, everyone makes mistakes, even physicists. They are still going to redo the experiment in May, with all the cables plugged in correctly to see if they can replicate their results. Don't count them out yet!
