HOLMES: OK, Albert Einstein may have been wrong, but who am I to say that? I'm not the one saying it possibly, but a 1905 Albert Einstein said nothing could be faster than the speed of light. This theory of relativity as you know held up pretty well since then until now because physicists at a renowned lab were experimenting with neutrinos. Those are actually tiny. They're so tiny subatomic particles. They actually make atoms look big, but they shot a neutrino beam underground from Geneva to Italy. That's a distance of 450 miles, and it turns out that those neutrinos traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than light. We're talking about a 60 billionth of one second. It's really small here we're talking, but if the results can be duplicated, that's small number will have a seismic effect on the very foundations of modern physics. In other words, we would have to rethink Einstein's theory of relativity, possibly revolutionizing physics as we know it and turning science on its head. Also coming up here, we'll turn to the outrage over warring drug gangs. Teachers and Mexico's tourist playground of Acapulco take matters into their own hands. Their brave struggle right after this.
