The postulate of special relativity, which in common terms means that no particle can travel faster than the speed of light, has been tested and shown to be correct in literally billions of measurements.  So the scientists at CERN who report measurin ...

... left aside the decays of W bosons yielding τ leptons. Tau leptons have a complex signature, and contribute a little to each of the ... since they may produce narrow hadronic jets (when the tau decays into light hadrons), or electrons, or muons as they decay. Let us ...

There are twenty-four elementary fermions in the standard model. Sure, they are arranged in a very tidy, symmetrical structure of three families of eight fermions (two leptons and six quarks), which is not too unpleasant to behold. And of course, if one i ...
