Faster Than the Speed of Light?
2011 · 60 MIN · IMDB 7.6 · 59 VOTES
Overview
In September 2011, an international group of scientists has made an astonishing claim - they have detected particles that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. It was a claim that contradicted more than a hundred years of scientific orthodoxy. Suddenly there was talk of all kinds of bizarre concepts, from time travel to parallel universes. So what is going on? Has Einstein's famous theory of relativity finally met its match? Will we one day be able to travel into the past or even into another universe? In this film, Professor Marcus du Sautoy explores one of the most dramatic scientific announcements for a generation. In clear, simple language he tells the story of the science we thought we knew, how it is being challenged, and why it matters.

00:00:02 These are the Appennine mountains in Central Italy.
00:02:19 But it has always been mysterious.
00:05:04 when he wasn't doing his day job
00:07:31 then, at the end, I reference 39 other papers that I rely on.
00:09:47 The faster you travel, the slower time passes.
00:12:22 to cross the speed of light barrier.
00:14:31 It order to understand how neutrinos are able to travel straight
00:17:07 We've created neutrinos in man-made particle accelerators
00:19:53 the nature of neutrinos.
00:22:05 detecting them still wasn't easy.
00:24:23 by however small an amount.
00:26:35 to see where they might have made a mistake.
00:28:55 Things get even weirder
00:31:36 and it took the light from that supernova
00:34:10 translates into roughly ten centimetres in distance.
00:36:57 have assumed that these two shapes are the same
00:39:12 than the speed of light.
00:41:43 with an opposite electric charge.
00:43:53 of an ultimate speed limit doesn't make any sense.
00:47:00 into the familiar stars and galaxies
00:49:35 So if something big has to give...
00:51:52 But this is just part of something much larger
00:55:11 It all sounds rather elegant.
