What is the name of particles that travel faster than light?

neutrinos


Which is that thing faster than light?

the thing which is faster than light is neutrinos which is 25parts per million faster than speed of the light, its scientifically proved.


Is there any particles whose velocity is greater than photon particles?

Possibly neutrinos are . . . scientists right now are thinking that neutrinos travel faster than light (photons)


What is faster than a neutrino?

A photon. Neutrinos have mass and therefore must travel at less than the speed of light. Photons of light travel at the speed of light.


How is light faster that sound?

light is faster than sound simply because it is. With the possible exception of neutrinos, light is the fastest thing in the universe. There are, however, supersonic jets in use by the military.


How much more faster does a neutrino go than the speed of light?

Some recent experiments (2010 and 2011) suggested that neutrinos might be massless and travel very slightly faster than the speed of light (0.003 %). However, these are at odds with measurements that show neutrinos and light photons travelling at roughly the same speed. Further experiments are planned to test how photons and neutrinos are affected by the medium they traverse. If neutrinos do have mass, by the theory of relativity they cannot reach or exceed light speed.


What is the only wonder still standing?

It is the speed of neutrinos. Why they are faster than the speed of light? Ckeck results of recent LHC experiments.


What are some interesting scientific discoveries of 2011?

scientists found that neutrinos (subatomic particles) travel faster than the speed of light


How was a neutrino accelerated to sppeds greater than light by the scientists at CERN recently in September?

First of all, even the CERN scientists are not convinced that the neutrinos did, indeed, travel to the detector at a speed faster than that of light. They are fairly certain they've made some mistake, but they just haven't yet figured out what it was. Secondly, neutrinos can not be accelerated. If they began at a certain speed, there is NO WAY anyone could make them go faster. If, indeed, the CERN scientists have not made a mistake, this would only mean that neutrinos begin their lives at a speed faster than light. Creating neutrinos is easy -- scientists need only set up a beam of particles that decay into neutrinos, then wait for the original particles to do so. Detecting them is the problem.


What scientific theories have been disproven?

Einstein found that the fasting moving object is light. September 2011, scientists found that neutrinos travel faster than light.


Is there anything faster than the speed of light-?

Recent experiments at CERN suggest that neutrinos travel faster than light, but this experiment has not been replicated anywhere else and needs significant backing before it is to be accepted as a phenomenon.


What is faster than speed of light?

AnswerAccording to our current understanding of physics, it seems that nothing can go faster than the speed of light.AnswerThere are these subatomic particles called neutrinos that travel 60 nanoseconds faster than light. Unfortunately, that means Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity is wrong. So, theoretically, you can time travel and be your own grandmother.
