Maybe you've been reading about the new discovery by the world's best scientists, that will replace Einstein's theory of relativity.
In a nutshell it's this: Neutrinos can travel faster than light.
What are neutrinos? They're particles that travel through almost everything - anytime they want.
What does "faster than light" mean? It means, if you shoot a gun - the bullet leaves before you pull the trigger.
Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post Writers Group, says that, if it' true, everything we know about the universe is wrong including Einstein's theory of relativity - because it's the absolute prohibition on speed faster than light.
If it's true we'll need a new understanding of past and future.
Are you confused? Maybe this little joke that's going around scientific websites will help you. You know how I love bartender jokes.
We don't allow faster-than-light neutrinos in here, says the bartender.
A neutrino walks into a bar.
Think about it.
