Just a Friendly Reminder

Nothing moves faster than the speed of light? Right?

Well, maybe not. I read an article this morning about some European scientists that claim they clocked a subatomic particle moving at speeds faster than the speed of light.

If this turns out to be true, it throws a wrench in Einstein's theory of relativity and the entire conception of modern physics. That's crazy.

Whether the claim is factual or not is yet to be determined, but the idea itself is groundbreaking.

It's just a startling reminder that everything isn't always as it seems.

It's also a reminder of the importance of questioning standard practices or beliefs as opposed to just following what is commonly accepted as true.

Because really at the end of the day, we don't know shit.
