Was Einstein wrong or was the cable loose?

Was Einstein wrong or was the cable loose? Geneva/Chicago: The world of science was upended last year when an experiment appeared to show one of Einstein's fundamental theories was wrong - but now the lab behind it says the result could have been caused by a loose cable. Physicists at the CERN research institute near Geneva appeared to contradict Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity last year when they reported that sub-atomic particles called neutrinos could travel...

Scientists find signs of missing 'god particle'

Scientists find signs of missing 'god particle' Geneva: Scientists at the CERN physics research centre said on Tuesday they had found signs of - although not yet conclusively discovered - the Higgs boson, an elementary particle which is the missing link in the Standard Model of physics. Fabiola Gianotti, the scientist in charge of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, said the signal was centered at around 126 GeV (Giga electron volts). "I...

CERN scientists narrow search for Higgs boson

CERN scientists narrow search for Higgs boson Geneva: CERN physicists have moved the focus of their search for the Higgs boson, the particle many think gave the universe form after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, to a narrow band on the mass spectrum, a spokesman said on Wednesday. And science bloggers close to the research center are suggesting it might be clear by mid-December that the boson is a chimera and some other mechanism to...

Will Einstein's theory of relativity be proved false?

Will Einstein's theory of relativity be proved false? New Delhi: Will Einstein's 1905 theory of relativity - one of the most fundamental pillars of physics - that underpins "nothing can travel faster than light-300,000 kms, or 186,000 miles, per second" be proved wrong? The speculations started coming after scientists at the world's largest physics lab CERN claim to have clocked sub-atomic particles or neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN, near...

Scientists find particles faster than light

Scientists find particles faster than light New Delhi: Nothing travels faster than light, that is one of Physics' most basic laws. Now scientists say they have seen something that can and that can prove that Einstein could actually have been wrong. Scientists at the CERN Nuclear research centre in Geneva fired neutrinos, which are tiny sub atomic particles, from their lab to another one, 730 km away. The neutrinos hit the target faster than even light...
