FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
Documentary, 2011
BBC
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2090496/
[in short: by one experience at Geneva by OPERA scientists, neutrinos travel tiny bit faster than the speed of light, but scientists are still skeptical because they think there might be some mistake in calculation and other that the supernova explosion in 1987, neutrinos travel tiny bit slower than the speed.]
EXCERPTS:
NEUTRINOS
There are 16 types of fundamental particles
that are the smallest and simplest building blocks in the universe
together that explains the world and that what hold it together
three of those elementary particles are neutrinos.
neutrinos are so small
without any charge
they can pass trough the space very easily
in fact neutrinos are so tiny
that if the atom is the size of the solar system
then the neutrino is the size of gulf ball.
We also know that
despite their tiny size
they do still have a small mass
which means according to Einstein
they can't travel faster than speed of light.

How Does the Universe Works
HOW DOES THE UNIVERSE WORKS
[THROUGH THE WORMHOLE]
S02E06
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1513168/
EXCERPTS:
How Does The Universe Works
Radioactive decays
When the Earth is closer to the Sun,
around January 4th,
the rate of radioactive decay seems to be faster.
A large solar flare could wipe out
every one of the nearly 3000 satellites orbiting the Earth.
In a flash, we would lose the Internet,
GPS, television, radio, telephones,
and the systems that control our power grids.
Knowing a flare is coming could avert a global apocalypse.
Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics describes the behavior
of all the tiny particles that everything is made of.
This knowledge has given us computers,
nuclear power, satellites, advanced medicine --
most of the great leaps forward
humanity has taken in the past 100 years.
But the quantum world seems to run contrary
to everything we know about the laws of nature.
Simply put, donw where thing are very, very small,
the Universe follows a different set of rules.
Quantum Nonlocality
Double Slit Experiment
Quantum Uncertainty
(Nothing is real until we look at it)
Louis de Broglie.
Louis de Broglie's original idea is
an electron is both a wave and a particle all the time.
It's not the case that, well, sometimes it's a particle,
sometimes it's a wave.
And de Broglie called this a pilot wave.
95% of the universe is missing.
