New Scientist TV: One-Minute Physics: How to detect a neutrino

Neutrinos are hard to detect: since they don't interact with light, they literally can't be seen. So how can they be spotted? In our latest One-Minute Physics animation, producer Henry Reich illustrates a technique for getting a glimpse of these subatomic particles as well as highlighting their weird properties.

Oh Albert. Did you get it wrong? In 2011, physics was shaken by an experiment which said the Universe's speed limit, enshrined by Einstein in his 1905 theory of special relativity, could be broken.

One weird theory could make anti-gravity and faster-than-light travel possible

One weird theory could make anti-gravity and faster-than-light travel possible | Science News | Scoop.it
So we've had neutrinos that traveled faster than light — or at least, that result hasn't been invalidated yet. But how soon can we get spaceships that can travel to other star systems without traveling at faster-than-light velocities?

Study rejects "faster than light" particle finding | Science News | Scoop.it
GENEVA (Reuters) - An international team of scientists in Italy studying the same neutrino particles colleagues say appear to have travelled faster than light rejected the startling finding this weekend, saying their tests had shown it must be wrong.

Breaking the Speed of Light and Contemplating the Demise of Relativity | Dr. Kaku's Universe | Big Think | Science News | Scoop.it

Einstein released many theories during his scientific career, but it was the publishing of his two theories of relativity that literally shook the foundations of physics. The theories proposed by him still stand today even though there are many individuals who have tried to challenge them. It started in 1905 with the publishing of his special theory of relativity and was later followed by the general theory of relativity in 1915 . Each of these theories are comprised of their own sets of equations, laws and principles that explain why things act the way that they do, from the largest of galaxies right now to the smallest of particles.
