Faster Than Light Particles? Maybe Not.

A few months ago, word got out that scientists had found a particle that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. A finding that would have pretty much blown up countless theories on how the universe works. Now, though, scientists say they've found some problems. A few misconnections between cables cast doubt on the findings and now, scientists doubt the legitimacy of the measurements and conclusions...a bit disappointing...new discoveries are fun, but at least now we don't have to doubt our entire understanding of the existence.
