It was Albert Einstein, no less, who proposed more than 100 years ago that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.
But yesterday it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong.
The science world was left in shock when workers at the world's largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light.

During the experiment, the tiny particles clocked at 300,006 kilometres per second, about six km/sec faster that the speed of light How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience?
