I don't agree with Charles Krauthammer's political POV, but I give him credit for telling some uncomfortable truths in his latest op-ed piece which discusses the CERN "discovery of a particle that can travel faster than light." He points out the enormity of the ramifications of the discovery not only for physics, but for all of standard cosmology.

Krauthammer observes, "[b]...Einstein’s relativity — a theory of uncommon beauty upon which all of physics has been built for 100 years — is wrong. Not just inaccurate. Not just flawed. But deeply, fundamentally, indescribably wrong.

It means that the 'standard model' of subatomic particles that stands at the center of all modern physics is wrong.

Nor does it stop there. This will not just overthrow physics. Astronomy and cosmology measure time and distance in the universe on the assumption of light speed as the cosmic limit. Their foundations will shake as well."[/b]

Given the valid skepticism Krauthammer is expressing toward the standard cosmology, I'm hoping someone will at least point him in the direction of an alternative, like this:
