I was watching a DVRed Countdown with Keith Obermann (from the 24th, IIRC), and he had an interesting story that I'm definitely going to try to find out more about: there have been about 15,000 recorded instances this year of subatomic particles moving at faster than the speed of light.

At the low end -- there have been 15,000 wrong calculations this year. At the high end -- everything mankind thinks it knows about physics is wrong. Midpoint -- it is in fact possible to travel faster than the speed of light (at least for subatomic particles), and/or it's proof that the universe has more than four dimensions. Weird possibility -- the speed of light is variable or changing, and we no longer know what the speed of light actually is.
