Time travel, some insignificant thoughts
Boffins have recently entered an excited state (see what I did there science fans?) about some neutrinos that appear to have travelled faster than light. Prior to this the fastest thing in the uniververse was thought to be the speed of light, followed closely by a New York Second*.

Into the Dragon- Bomb the Base
“There have been mixes and dance tracks put together in the past but none have the power to outrun or equal the Megablast!” I was 13 years old when I heard those immortal words uttered for the first time and coming back to the album they originated from after what must be a good 15 years, what strikes me is how well it’s aged. Tim Westwood still sounds as hilariously naff as he always did on … Read entire article »
