Basically everything we thought we knew about physics is proved wrong. Crazy things happen. Everyone runs around like headless chickens. Heskey scores in the confusion.

Arsenal win league?
I said everything we thought we knew about physics is proved wrong and crazy things happen, not 'the Universe collapses in on itself and every other football team in the world apart from Arsenal cease to exist'.
Just wondering.. Did nobody else realise that Physics was just theories anyway? As in, we just did as many tests as we could and they just so happened to fit our models? So, essentially, the Physics we did know were theories that looked pretty accurate based on the evidence we had, so to say 'it will change our lives' is kind of inaccurate as none of the Physics we had was actually 'right', as such.
Back on topic, this is pretty exciting. Hoping it'll be one of many discoveries to come from the LHC. No black holes that engulf and kill us all would be nice, too.

Most of those theories are theories in the same way that gravity is a theory. If gravity was disproven, would it change our life? Er, yes. In much the same way, this could blow everything apart in our lives today.
there are theories but its usefull too, like we can even find the speed of a ball before and after the impact. it at least tangible [in a way].
if we find that particle LHC project is doing, it gonna change the heck of everything in Physics we know. as said, gravity doent exist, its just the curvature of the earth causing it to fall.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is science, not religion, it doesn't claim to have all the answers, it strives to gain them. Science performs experiments to gain empirical data, which they then use to form theories around. We don't just make **** up to fit what we want to believe. Science is ever evolving, it's constant scepticism. Plenty of the Physics we have is right. You wouldn't be typing now, no internet, no TV, no GPS, no phones, no electric lights, no fridges. I seriously doubt you'd even be able to function in daily life if we were wrong about so much.
The LHC can't create black holes to kill us all. Was just typical sensationalist media exaggerating, much like this story in fact.
Tesla is the SI unit for magnetic field or flux density.

No it's not, and it does exist.
thats what im saying. LOL
we are assuming gavitiy is there, that why we use the 9.81m/s squared in any projectile question

You said in your post that it doesn't exist.
Assuming implies there is a chance it may or may not be there. Acceleration due to gravity is always going to exist. In projectile questions you assume acceleration is constant, you don't assume gravity is there, because it always will. And it's due to curvature in space-time, not curvature of the Earth.
Gravity = Illusion !

i meant that, not the Earth sry on that post before. hehe . note : im just starting higher physics, and my teacher just said it like that and half of the class went lol. so yeah i must have go confused between those too.

They time traveled in back to the future, so I think it can happen in real life as well.
Honestly? This is pretty **** exciting. If another experiment shows the exact same thing, then the "light barrier" has been broken. Though it is probably down to a simple error in the experiment, and we'll more than likely find out that the barrier hasn't been broken.
But that's the best thing about Physics, we can't really be sure of anything until it's conclusively proven.

The OPERA neutrino experiment at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory has measured the velocity of neutrinos from the CERN CNGS beam over a baseline of about 730 km with much higher accuracy than previous studies conducted with accelerator neutrinos. The measurement is based on high-statistics data taken by OPERA in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dedicated upgrades of the CNGS timing system and of the OPERA detector, as well as a high precision geodesy campaign for the measurement of the neutrino baseline, allowed reaching comparable systematic and statistical accuracies. An early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos with respect to the one computed assuming the speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 \pm 6.9 (stat.) \pm 7.4 (sys.)) ns was measured. This anomaly corresponds to a relative difference of the muon neutrino velocity with respect to the speed of light (v-c)/c = (2.48 \pm 0.28 (stat.) \pm 0.30 (sys.)) \times 10-5.

If this is correct, in theory we could go back in time.
