SCIENCE: CURRENT EVENT 7

During September, scientist have discovered tiny particles that are called neutrinos that are faster than light. But however, till now scientist and physicists believed that there was no such thing that was faster than light in its race in or outer space. Then skeptical scientist did an experiment to see if superluminal neutrinos were real. They say light goes about 670 million miles per hour, but the new type of neutrinos were 450 million miles per hour underground. Neutrinos are known as particles that zip though everything at every time and has a part of light in it which makes it so fast. As an Italian group of scientist did an experiment on it to see which is faster. Apparently the physicist from Boston University look at the observation, they said that according to the speed and limits, light was still faster and why they thought neutrinos were faster was because they had particles of light to make it fast. Until now, they believe that the experiment was wrong and light is still faster.
