Current Event: Speed-Of-Light Results Under Scrutiny At Cern

At the world's largest physics lab, a new experiment is taking place. They have recorded a particle that is faster than the speed-of-light. They are constructing experiments and testing them over and over, making sure no mistake is being made. Albert Einstein made a theory that nothing is faster than the speed-of-light, but the new discovery might just prove Albert Einstein wrong. Scientists are hoping that this experiment gets out more so that other scientists can test out their results.
This affects us as a country because it shows that even the oldest theories can be tested and proven wrong. It keeps people who are involved with science internationally aware of things that they care about. This is a very interesting piece.
