In September 2011, an international group of scientists has made an astonishing claim – they have detected particles that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light<\/a>. It was a claim that contradicted more than a hundred years of scientific orthodoxy. Suddenly there was talk of all kinds of bizarre concepts, from time travel<\/a> to parallel universes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what is going on? Has Einstein<\/a>‘s famous theory of relativity<\/a> finally met its match? Will we one day be able to travel into the past or even into another universe?<\/p>\n

In this film, Professor Marcus du Sautoy<\/a> explores one of the most dramatic scientific announcements for a generation. In clear, simple language he tells the story of the science we thought we knew, how it is being challenged, and why it matters.<\/p>\n
