Scientists At Cern Are Wrong About Faster Than Light Particles, Or They Are Being Misrepresented, Hontas Farmer

Hontas F Farmer

The postulate of special relativity, which in common terms means that no particle can travel faster than the speed of light, has been tested and shown to be correct in literally billions of measurements. So the scientists at CERN who report measuring neutrino's moving faster than light are either WRONG or are being grossly misrepresented in many media outlets. Every other time a packet of particles collided with another packet of particles special relativity has been borne out. The experiment reported in many outlets, conducted at CERN, has been reported as "showing Einstein was wrong". I don't think so.
