Believe it or not, but it has taken 103 years and the combined power of various of the world’s top supercomputers to prove Eintein’s biggest equation right, resolving e=mc2 at the scale of sub-atomic particles. The feat has been achieved by a team of French, German, and Hungarian physicists led by Laurent Lellouch at the Centre for Theoretical Physics in France, and has finally answered a question that has puzzled scientists for decades: The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Atom Mass!
Albert Einstein’s watch is for sale. It will be auctioned on October 16, just in time for you to count the remaining hours before they find God’s Particle or destroy the Galaxy at CERN. How do you know this 1930s Longines is actually Mr. Einstein’s watch? By looking at its back.
So, it turns out that maybe Einstein was wrong about that whole relativity thing. A couple of German physicists claim that they’ve broken the speed of light (with a photon, not a rocket, disappointingly). What this means is that time travel, instantaneous traveling between distant locations and really fast download speeds could all be possible.
