Faster Than the Speed of Light?(2011)

Faster Than the Speed of Light? is a documentary that examines a stunning 2011 scientific claim: researchers detected particles apparently traveling faster than light, challenging over a century of established physics. The discovery sparked wild speculation about time travel and parallel universes, threatening to upend Einstein's theory of relativity itself. Professor Marcus du Sautoy guides viewers through this dramatic announcement, explaining the science we thought was settled, how it faced unexpected challenge, and why the implications matter. The film breaks down complex concepts into accessible language, exploring what faster-than-light particles could mean for our understanding of the universe and whether we might one day access the past or alternate realities. A compelling look at how scientific certainty can suddenly shift.
