Causality violation/paradox. Yeah, real easy. Might as well divide by zero while we're at it.

The ability to travel back in time suggests that somehow, everything in history is being replayed over and over on interconnected planes of existence that could conceivably be traveled to and from, and sculpted via the butterfly effect. I suppose I can't disprove it, but I'm inclined to doubt it.

Are most women stupid where you come from?

It appears that the faster-than-light neutrino results, announced last September by the OPERA collaboration in Italy, was due to a mistake after all. A bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame.
According to sources familiar with the experiment, the 60 nanoseconds discrepancy appears to come from a bad connection between a fiber optic cable that connects to the GPS receiver used to correct the timing of the neutrinos' flight and an electronic card in a computer.
New data, however, will be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
