If time slows down as you approach the speed of light, does it stop when you match or surpass it? If so how did they time the neutrinos?

All I know is that time slows down on the 101 when the traffic grinds to a halt. :tdown:

And I hate slowing down.

Time doesn't slow for the observer, BTW.

For we who are above the equator its the opposite!

No news to me-I've already gone faster than light on my bike. ;-)

The speed of light isn't so much a limit as it is a barrier.

If you're going slower than the speed of light, you can't go any faster than it. However, if you're already going faster than the speed of light, you can't go any slower than that.

An interesting theory I heard the other day. We are all traveling at the speed of light all the time. Any velocity not consumed in the x-y-z axis are consumed as we pass through time. Therefore the faster we go in x-y-z (space) the slower we go through time.
