Quote - Meanwhile, conservation of momentum, the law of thermodynamics, relativity, quantum mechanics (just to mention the most known stuff) sit indifferent and keep telling everybody:
You can't do that. You will never be able to do that. And we could not care less if you like it or not.
P.S.: in the end, those years spent getting an M.Sc. in Physics were worth something.
I'll see your M Sc (youngest brother) and raise you a PhD (middle brother).
Both of 'em believe it's possible. The actions described in the experiment aren't going to change the way the world works but could, if proven, open up a new branch of physics, in the same way Einstein's theories replaced Newton's in some cases.
Nobody with any sense is talking about a wholesale rewrite of the laws of physics; there may be cases when the speed of light can be taken to be inviolate but for certain exotic particles, an honourable exception could be made.
