"For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

Warp 1.002

Researchers at the CERN released results today that indicate that the abstract particle called the neutrino can, in fact, travel faster than the speed of light.  If this is proven true, it will be a momentous discovery, and quite possibly the beginning of a new era.  Faster-than-light travel has thus far been only extent in science fiction, but it appears that fiction is about to become reality.  Perhaps one day, we will fly across the galaxy in faster-than-light spacecraft that will make the Enterprise look like an artifact of bygone days, and it began today.
