Time's Up!

For those of you whose hobbies include quantum mechanics, special relativity and time travel - yes, all of you! - please note that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity may not be all that it is cracked up to be. 

News of recent research at CERN suggests that while E definitely equals something-or-other, it might not quite be M x C squared!  This is because neutrinos might, just possibly, travel faster than light - thus messing up the entire theory.

With this in mind, and our thanks to Tom Whipple of The Times, here is a (sort of) funny story on the subject:

“We don’t allow faster than light neutrinos in here”, the barman says.  A neutrino walks into a bar.  (Think about it!)

OK, please yourself!
