Faster than Light??

Anybody else think this is the coolest story out there?

I don't know why it appeals so much. I guess I like the idea of all those pretentious scientists—especially those who pretend that "theories" are proven facts, and laugh when some of us suggest that they're called "theories" for a reason—getting their  precious, snooty certainty knocked out of them.

Don't get me wrong. Until it's proven wrong, I believe in the Theory of Evolution.  I see no conflict between it and the existence of an Intelligent Designer.

On the other hand, until last week, I believed in the Theory of Relativity too.

Things are in flux. And what that will mean for our understanding of the universe is yet unclear...and that makes it pretty damned exciting!
