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.

Advance on Stem Cells

The next medical advancement made on stem cells will take place soon as parapalegics will be injected with new stem cells that could heal tissue damage.
After Bush left office, Geron Cooporation of Menlo park won approval to treat patients with stem cell research for the first time. If Obama sticks to his pledges on stem cells, this research and maybe even cures will continue.
Scientists are hoping that the cells drawn from approved embryotic cells will be injected into humans and hopefully stimulate the growth of new cells that will replace damaged tissue, muscles, and nerves.
With the debate about stem cells, how long will this research actually take place?
