Einstein’s theory of relativity has been a long standing foundation for modern physics. About a month ago, CERN researchers reportedly found neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light. The world went into uproar; however, a group of more rational minded people remained unfazed by this discovery, convinced that it was merely an error in the calculations. As of October 17th, the aforementioned group has had their beliefs confirmed. Researchers at University Groningen (don’t ask how to pronounce that… I don’t know) have discovered an error in the GPS that was used to track the neutrinos, said error can be proven to exist with an Einsteinian effect. Thusly, the mistake was essentially resolved by Einstein himself. The timing of the satellite was 64 nano-seconds off, the precise difference the neutrinos had when compared to light.
