Ok,
I know I'm opening myself up to a whole load of ridicule but can someone explain to me what it actually means, as in the known scientific theories that no longer hold true and the associated knock on effects if it is proven (as it seems to be) that things can actually go faster than the speed of light.
What I'm looking for is it put in laymans terms so to say.
I'll give a starting example, so going faster than the speed of light proves Einstein's theory of relativity wrong, ok, so what? scientific theories are proven wrong all the time, what is such the big deal with this particular theory being proven wrong..
can we then in theory do something now we know the theory to be incorrect?
