Neutrinos and Papal teaching

2011 Sept

Scientists at Europe’s CERN laboratories announced recently that wispy particles called neutrinos seem to travel faster than light, which may mean that Einstein’s theory of relativity, the basis of modern physics, may just have exploded.

65 billion solar neutrinos strike per square centimeter/second. Only 1 in 10 trillion interacts with an atom on our planet – which often seems to be the fate of papal teaching as well.
