“ The light we see from the moon when we look at it at night left its surface just over a second ago; the light we see from the sun left its surface just over eight minutes ago. Some of the stars that make up the constellations we see in the night sky are hundreds of light years away, which means the light we see left them centuries ago…. for me its astonishing that every time you look up at the night sky you are gazing back through time. ”

Trippy. Whoa.

Particles recorded moving faster than light || Reuters
An international team of scientists has recorded neutrino particles travelling faster than the speed of light, a spokesman for the researchers said on Thursday — in what could be a challenge to one of the fundamental rules of physics.
Antonio Ereditato, who works at the CERN particle physics centre on the Franco-Swiss border, told Reuters that measurements over three years showed the neutrinos moving 60 nanoseconds quicker than light over a distance of 730 km between Geneva and Gran Sasso, Italy.
“We have high confidence in our results. But we need other colleagues to do their tests and confirm them,” he said.
