This could mess up a few well known theories ...

I know a handyman, good rates.

I bet they'll realise the forgot to adjust for wind speed.

Everything I've believed up to now, speed of light can't be surpassed, milk quotas are good, apples fall down, Marty only organised cake sales in the 70s, are now shredded.

I dunno where to turn now!

No.

But it will slow down time, so you can drink for longer.

That's pretty cool! It will be interesting to see how it all turns out. Presumably they'll have double- and triple-checked everything before going public with it.

Apparently it happened a year ago, but they kept it under wraps as to check for mistakes and any possible reasons but came up with none so now are appealing to the entire scientific community to see if they can spot an error or have an explanation.

I don't understand the fuss about the speed of light.

It's been as slow as f**k since I changed to energy saver bulbs.

Does this mean time travel is possible?

Yes.

I wrote this post before you typed your question because I read it after you posted it and went back to the past and already answered it. See. Time travel is easy.

Makes you wonder what those subatomic particles could do on altitude in Mexico.
