Media has the power to model personalities, to shape the way we see and understand the world and the immediate reality. As grown-ups we can easily choose what we want to hear, read or see; we can also choose what to believe. And there are many different resources to choose from: newspapers and magazines, radio, television and movies, Internet and much more. But we cannot control the media, what we hear and see may not be good for our children especially for those under the age of six.

VI Speed of light 'broken' at CERN, scientists claim Translate :
Einsteins theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second. Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, said: We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing. Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics. John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einsteins theory underlies pretty much everything in modern physics.

It was Albert Einstein, no less, who proposed more than 100 years ago that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light. But last night it emerged that the man who laid the foundations for the laws of nature may have been wrong. The science world was left in shock when workers at the worlds largest physics lab announced they had recorded subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light . If the findings are proven to be accurate, they would overturn one of the pillars of the Standard Model of physics, which explains the way the universe and everything within it works.
