When researchers at CERN found neutrinos traveling at a speed faster than light, they were excoriated by the scientific community, so in order to prove their results were real, they done an IMPROVED version of their experiment–and the result is the same. If confirmed by other experiments, this could change the basic laws of modern physics, because the idea that nothing can exceed the speed of light is a basic idea in physics, which forms part of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Some people have theorized that so-called "aliens" are residents of a parallel universe who manage somehow to enter our reality–but how would they do it? One way would be through what quantum physicists call a "wormhole," even though these passageways have never been seen or detected. But that may soon change: A new study suggests that wormholes might exist between distant stars, which mean they might be visible with new space telescopes like the Kepler.
