  Faster than Light

  Earlier this year, the finding that certain subatomic particles called neutrinos might break one of the most fundamental laws of physics sent scientists worldwide into a frenzy.  Since the time the discovery was made, many have doubted the authenticity or reliability of the conditions in which this detection was noted not merely because it appeared to defy Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity but, if true, the finding opens up the possibility of being able to send information back in time.   This would of course blur the line between past and present and could utterly destroy cause and effect as we have come to depend upon them.

  Careers in Bioscience

  Bioscience is a wide swatch of the scientific disciplines, from cell biology to zoology, the bioscience field is full of potential for anyone who is enthusiastic about making new discoveries and improving upon old standards of how science works.  For several decades, advancements have been made in biosciences, but there have not been enough science majors to fill the shoes of those retiring out of the field.  Fresh minds are needed to replenish the laboratories with new talent.  The United States government may be able to help you with college expenses, too, if  you major in one of the fields currently under represented.
