A few weeks ago the researchers at the CERN laboratory announced results of an experiment (part of the search for the Higgs Bosun - a type of knot I think) which could have blown apart Einstein's theory that the speed of light was a maximum speed in the cosmos.
They had carried out a series of experiments in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), which cost over £6 billion to build, and discovered that a neutrino (very small atomic type thing) went 60 nanoseconds faster than it should have done. The news dominated the front pages of the world press for a few days.
Today it is reported that the scientists have discovered that these earth-shattering results were in fact an error caused by wiring anomalies!
But better still was the quote from the head of research at CERN, an Italian, called Sergio Bertolucci who was quoted recently on the earlier discovery,
"I have difficultly to believe it, because nothing in Italy arrives ahead of time."
It prompted my latest masterpiece
