It seems that scientists have had to admit they got it wrong again. You may remember some fuss a month or so ago from the fools at the Large Hardon Collider.
Scientists at Cern, the world's biggest physics lab, have admitted an experiment that appeared to show neutrino particles could travel faster than light may have been flawed.
Their findings contradicted the work of legendary physicist Albert Einstein and were greeted with excitement - and scepticism - around the world.
Last September, the researchers said they had recorded neutrinos travelling at 300,006 kilometres per second in a 450-mile underground tunnel between Switzerland and Italy.
That was slightly faster than light which travels at 299,792 kilometres per second.
A spokesman for the team said at the time: "We have high confidence in our results.
"We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing."
But now they say they may have got it wrong, blaming a faulty connection between a GPS unit and a computer.

How many times have True Christians had to backtrack because we have been proved wrong?
Never.
Psalm 33:4
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
