What would Carl Sagan say?

E=MC^2 is the theory of mass-energy equivilance, and hinges on the value of the constant “C,” or the speed of light, which is about 300 million metres per second — thought to be the speed limit of the universe . . . until last week that is.

On Sept. 22, scientists from CERN, the organization for European nuclear research, announced they had made a curious discovery. In an experiment unrelated to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), researchers observed neutrinos — extremely small sub-atomic particles with no electric charge — traveling at speeds above the speed of light; an impossibility according to Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity.

It is a commonly held belief that only objects like photons, which have no mass, can travel at the speed of light.

According to Einstein, the passage of time slows as something approaches the speed of light, and mass (M in the famous equation) increases, such that it would take an infinite amount of energy (E) to reach the speed of light for an object with any mass what so ever.

Scientists at CERN are being cautious about their announcement, inviting researchers from around the globe to study their data and repeat their experiment.

“[The researchers] are inviting the broader physics community to look at what they’ve done and really scrutinize it in great detail, and ideally for someone elsewhere in the world to repeat the measurements,” said James Gillies, a spokesperson CERN, speaking to the Associated Press.

    “All of my investigations seem to point to the conclusion that they are small particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons. They move with great velocity, exceeding that of light.” – Nikola Tesla, July 10, 1932

    DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD TELL YOU if man sent information Faster Than Light as messages to the past say over a century ago?

    They didn’t tell you because it caused world record earthquakes as the data from the future was realized and acted upon.

    They didn’t tell you because it allowed The United States of America and JP Morgan to take everything.

    They didn’t tell you the place…
    these messages were first sent back in time… someplace but you don’t see Times Square Tesla’s Lab.

    They didn’t tell you this “messaging” to the past caused a Man-Made New York City Earthquake attributed by police at the time to Nikola Tesla’s lab.

    They didn’t tell you why Nikola Tesla fearing more of these Manhattan earthquakes dropped out of the Trans-Atlantic race with Marconi and rushed his work to Colorado Springs.

    They didn’t tell you TESLA LISTENED FIRST…
    AND THEN CALLED HIMSELF.

    They didn’t tell you he used the information to bet on boxing.

    They didn’t tell you placing a bet can cause earthquakes.

    They didn’t tell you the front pages of The New York “Times” was the first bulk data sent and it was done by Nikola Tesla for JP Morgan, EH Harriman who hunted and killed all those bear “markets”

    They didn’t tell you The Harriman Expedition went to Alaska and set up the equipment three months before Tesla caused Earthquake No. 333.

    They did’t tell you Tesla’s action actually created this world as we know it’s slight difference means the action even created you in it.

    They didn’t tell you and CAN’T TELL YOU NOW BECAUSE all the wealth and all the power in the world then changes hands. All countries, religions, investment, gambling, and even Vegas & Wall Street are worthless if the pentagon admits they have data from the future.

    Nikola Tesla caused world record 47ft uplift earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches & volcanic activity in Alaska during September in 1899.

    He signed the earthquake for you.
    It was Milne Shide No. 333.
    British Association for The Advancement of Science Earthquake No. 333 commencing at 3h 03m 27s epicenter time in 1899.
    (WHY HE DIED IN ROOM #3327 HOTEL NEW YORKER)

    A second divisible by 3, times 3, times 3,
    in a minute divisible by 3,
    in an hour divisible by 3,
    on a day divisible by 3,
    in a month divisible by 3, times 3,
    in a year divisible by 3 TIMES THREE!
    DO THE MATH…
    And for Christ’s sake it was Earthquake Milne Shide No. 333

    “All repeated acts or operations I performed had to be divisible by three and if I missed I felt impelled to do it again, even if it took hours.”
    -Nikola Tesla

    If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.

    FASTER-THAN-LIGHT DATA WAS SENT TO THE PAST
    Einstein the figurehead. Tesla died on the cross for our sins. Disaster the sacrifice that was let to be… or no more Vegas and Wall Street you see. Revelation I’ll write and one day send Faster-Than-Light.

    “All of my investigations seem to point to the conclusion that they are small particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons. They move with great velocity, exceeding that of light.” Nikola Tesla, July 10, 1932

    “If you only knew The magnificence of the 3, 6 & 9; then you would have a key to the universe” -Nikola Tesla

    That decision was the U.S. Supreme Court Decision No. 369 which said Tesla invented Radio not Marconi

    “Fragments of Olympian Gossip”
    By Nikola Tesla
    While listening on my cosmic phone
    I caught words from the Olympus blown.
    A newcomer was shown around;
    That much I could guess, aided by sound.
    “There’s Archimedes with his lever
    Still busy on problems as ever.
    Says: matter and force are transmutable
    And wrong the laws you thought immutable.”
    “Below, on Earth, they work at full blast
    And news are coming in thick and fast.
    The latest tells of a cosmic gun.
    To be pelted is very poor fun.
    We are wary with so much at stake,
    Those beggars are a pest—no mistake.”
    “Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown
    And turned your great science upside down.
    Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name,
    Puts on your high teaching all the blame.
    Says: matter and force are transmutable
    And wrong the laws you thought immutable.”
    “I am much too ignorant, my son,
    For grasping schemes so finely spun.
    My followers are of stronger mind
    And I am content to stay behind,
    Perhaps I failed, but I did my best,
    These masters of mine may do the rest.
    Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup.
    When is your friend Tesla coming up.”
    “Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late,
    It would be useless to remonstrate.”
    Then silence, shuffle of soft slippered feet”
    I knock and the bedlam of the street.
    Nikola Tesla, Novice
