Like a Boss, Einstein's Still Standing

In September, a group of researchers reported that they had measured subatomic particles traveling faster than the speed of light, much to the disbelief and excitement of the scientific community. However, on Friday this theory was once again put to the test, and the results were clear: the particles do not travel faster then the speed of light. Einstein's theory of relativity is still standing.

The basis of modern physics, Einstein's theory of relativity states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light, which is about 186, 282 miles per second. This rule is used for many major calculations about space and the universe itself, which is why it was so shocking when scientists claimed to have disproved it. Of course, since then it has been discovered that their experiment setup was flawed, and their theory has been busted.

What do you guys think about this? Are you disappointed it's not true? Do you think it's even worth the time and resources to test accepted theories, like the theory of relativity? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
