SCIENCE - 'Faster-than-light' particles spark science drama

"This would be a profound revolution in physics, probably the most significant one to happen in the last 100 years."
neutrinos had been found to travel some six kilometres (3.75 miles) per second faster than the velocity of light -after travelling 732 kms (454 miles) through Earth's crust -To do the trip, the neutrinos should have taken 0.0024 seconds - Instead, the ornery little critters hit the detectors in Italy 0.00000006 seconds sooner than expected."If the effect were confirmed, it would show some particles can travel faster than the speed of light," Professor David Wark, director of the Particle Physics Department at Britain's Science and Technology Facilities Council, told AFP.
