Einstein proved wrong?


Einstein, the greatest scientist of 20th century has been proved wrong. His famous equation E = mc2, which supposedly connected the four dimensions length, breadthheight and duration(time) and also which spoke of theory that nothing could travel faster than that of light. Answers to the questions like 'what would happen to the path of the earth if the Sun simply disappeared?' were all answered by Einstein through his equation E = mc2. He said that it would take 8 mins 19 secs, i.e time taken by light to reach Earth from the Sun. He has been proved wrong recently. Small, sub atomic particles called neutrinos, which are created in an hadron collider or particle accelerator(both are not the same) were found to travel faster than that of light! Just fractions more than that of light. If this were true, then it would change the understanding of physics. It would simply revolutionalize physics.

The theory has to be verified further.
