Is Einstein Wrong?

Classical Mechanics Level 2

New studies and experiments show that one particular particle may be faster than light. This is opposing Einstein's laws, that say that nothing can be faster than light. Which is this particle?

Interestingly there is a hypothetical particle that is predicted to travel faster than light with imaginary mass called tachyon.

True enough. Even I have read about it.

I believe tachyon is an arbitrary name (originally from Star Trek) for any particle that moves faster than light, but I don't think they are speculated to actually exist. Also to the best of my knowledge, the experiment which suggested that neutrinos could move faster than light was shown to be an error on the part of the experimenters at CERN, who conducted the measurements.

No, actually some guys at italy also did the same experiment

The CERN scientists I was referring to were in Italy.

Stress on the word 'may' in the question
