Faster than Light?
That nothing in the universe moves faster than light is a fundamental axiom of modern physics. The velocity of light is accepted as "basic constant," is given the symbol c for mathematical notation, is counted as 2.9986X1010cm. sec.--1--or roughly 186,000 mi. per sec.
Five weeks ago Dr. J. Clay of Amsterdam, who makes it his business to keep track of the invisible flow of cosmic rays through the sky, announced an inexplicable explosion of cosmic rays coming from a certain point in the heavens. Last week at that point in the sky a new star was seen to explode brightly. Hoping that the cosmicray burst and the starlight originated in the same explosion, Astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky of California Institute of Technology last week explained: "We have suspected for some time that cosmic rays travel faster than light and this may prove it. ... A colossal discovery."
