Einstein's theory may be wrong.  He has proven that nothing is faster than the speed of light 300,000 kms or 186,000 miles per second. A lab CERN claimed that they have timed a neutrino beam shot off from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 730 km away in Italy within 60 nanoseconds with speeds of 186, 282 miles per second. Einstein's theory has been tested numerous times within the last 106 years, but there may be certain particles that don't fit his theory. Neutrinos are the particles that are conflicting Einstein's theory. These particles travel 6 km/second faster than light.

A Meteorite hits a California home. Mike Gibson was suddenly awaken with a boom sound.
