Einstein predicted a faster-than-light engine: it’s been built
https://www.ecoticias.com/en/einstein-predicted-faster-engine/7860/
Recently, we celebrated the anniversary of humanity’s first moon landing, an unforgettable achievement by the United States. However, another monumental milestone, this time by Germany, was actually reached decades ago without our knowledge: Einstein, widely regarded as the greatest physicist, predicted a vehicle capable of faster-than-light travel, long dismissed as science fiction. Defying expectations, a team of distinguished engineers set the foundation, and now we’ve learned that it’s indeed possible.

Accelerator report: LHC run 3 achieves record-breaking integrated luminosity
https://phys.org/news/2024-09-lhc-luminosity.html
LHC Run 3 began in 2022, with the recommissioning of the LHC at 6.8 TeV, resulting in the delivery of 39.7 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity, surpassing initial expectations. Luminosity is an important indicator of the performance of a collider: it is proportional to the number of collisions that occur in a given amount of time. The higher the luminosity, the more data the experiments can gather to allow them to observe rare processes.
