What happened to market? PPT machines are losing battle with the lower black line on this chart, in fact the SPX500 weekly chart showing ONLY PPT is holding this market up from having a CRASH.
ONLY PPT could make a chart as weird as this where the chart gets more and more bearish, but it continues to fight by The Invisble Hands of PPT holding it up from collapse---PPT is fighting fighting to keep distance from 1101, but bearishness is still increasing--weird, but the weirdness is the signal of PPT at work:) Max
going to repost this on Residential thread.

Particles Found Faster Than Light (edit: i smile Secret Agent Man i was announcing this as fact over 3 years ago, as profile post shows---the public news--this via WSJ--- is ALWAYS years behind. People don't realize EVERYTHING they think they know about the Universe is WRONG, the MULTITUDES of Carl Saganites, are Far Behind!!! what truth--far far far behind. You and i BOTH believe we are trapped in an illusion, but we are FREEING our minds--no? yes--you bet we are! Max:)



By GAUTAM NAIKResearchers said an experiment had recorded subatomic particles traveling faster than the speed of light, a shocking result that is bound to come under tremendous scrutiny because it would upend the field of physics if confirmed.

According to a statement on the website of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known by its French acronym CERN, scientists have measured particles known as neutrinos moving at a velocity that was 20 parts a million above the speed of light, nature's speed limit.

Though the physicists said they had checked and rechecked the data, the hard-to-believe result would have to be confirmed by other, independent experiments.(edit: Incredible stupidity by the Saganites(Saganites: Einstein showed us as FACT that the Speed of Light is the absolute speedlimit--i state the Universe has virtually NO speedlimit. Sagan used to LOL -- of people from ELSEWHERE coming to this planet because based on the speed of light constant such travel is impossibe--which would be correct if was right, but he is WRONG-------------plus virtually no one knows as FACT we live in a non-benign illusion. For me , it is NOT a faith, it is something i KNOW as fact--we both have reason for this belief beyond faith. Max:)

More The CERN Statement

Einstein's theory of relativity—and our current understanding of cosmic laws—is based on his crucial idea that nothing can travel faster than light, whose velocity is pegged at 186,000 miles a second. In the famous equation E=mc², for example, the "c" represents the speed of light.

"This result comes as a complete surprise," said Antonio Ereditato of the University of Bern, a spokesman for the experiment, in a statement on the CERN web site. "After many months of studies and cross checks we have not found any instrumental effect that could explain the result of the measurement." However, he added, "the potential impact on science is too large to draw immediate conclusions or attempt physics interpretations."

In the experiment, known as OPERA, a neutrino beam was sent from CERN near Geneva to the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy, 450 miles away. The neutrino is a subatomic particle with no charge that almost never interacts with any other particle. The faster-than-light result was based on the observation of more than 15,000 neutrino events measured at Gran Sasso, CERN said.

Researchers made the experimental results publicly available via a website as a way of inviting broader scrutiny to confirm or refute the unexpected findings. CERN plans to present its results during a seminar in Geneva on Friday.
