i dont think he was wrong i just think he didnt have the technology we have today to test his theroy and thats all it was a theroy. and if it was possible who is actually gonna be able to use it? not alot of people you know. it would be very expensive for sure. it would also allow us to travel to different universes and planets. we might even get the chance to see if there are other living creatures. it would deffently give the scientific world something large to think about. its just what they need lol :)
Surely since science is advancing rapidly in this field the we are going to be more accurate with the findings.
Given that Einstein wrote up his thesis nearly a hundred years ago and to be out by a nano or two is still very impressive.
There was a very similar thread a few months ago.

Not only was the "discovery" false the leaders of the team have resigned.

On a personal note, maybe a bit of research beforehand will give you the answer.
That will be me next month TT road race on the Isle of man next month LOL
very good thread but i don't think we will ever travel faster than light as time slows or even bends
I will put this question at my astronomy club next week
Interesting idea, but I'm afraid I agree somewhat with the critics and also with the idea that Einstein was most likely correct, he just lacked the tools we have and had considerable, and understandable, room for error.

Einstein had to be right, but at the same time even the speed of light isn't that fast at all.
Xzavier is correct. if i recall correctly, something in the equation wasnt accounted for, or there was a computer glitch (and yes...im just too damn lazy just now to look it up lol).
point being 300,000 kilometers/ second....not just a good idea.....it continues to be the law! lol

Time isn't the same at every place. It varies based on gravity.
So, I'd like to know the specific gravitational pull of each location.
I would imagine they've figured that in if need be, kinda science 101. Besides, no matter where or how much (or little) gravity there is the speed of light is always the same. That's why it's called a constant. Any changes are only perceived, they're relative to the observer.
Light is moving at 186,000 mph and yet it may take 1,000 years for the light in the core of the Sun to reach the edge. Why? Because its bouncing around from particle to particle at 186k mph.
Also, the changes in gravity at sea level and say 10,000 feet up a mountain are incredibly tiny. You can do a search for a gravitational map of the Earth if you'd like.
