How To Find Faster-Than-Light Particles

A new paper claims to demonstrate that neutrinos not only travel faster than the speed of light, but have the brain-twisting characteristic of “imaginary mass”, a property that means they actually speed up as they lose energy.

Pro-Vaccine Shills for Big Pharma, the Illumanati, Reptilians, and the NWO

#satire #unnatural #ftw ;)

Did you know that they add iodine to salt to help fight goiters disease... but that's UNNATURAL!!! That's not what Mother Nature intended for salt! And salt is an INORGANIC CHEMICAL! ALL SALT IS INORGANIC! INORGANIC!!! Salt is also rich in the chemical SODIUM! Sodium is explosive when exposed to water! And scientific experts tells us that just because a compound has explosive chemical SODIUM in it doesn't mean the compound is going to make you EXPLODE. Nice try, Big Salt! We aren't fooled by your scientific experts (cough, shills)! TRUTH: There is an old saying, “these issues are too important to leave up to the experts.” AND!!! And salt has the chemical CHLORINE in it! Something in a CHEMICAL WARFARE WEAPON is okay too, huh scientific experts, SUUUURE. And did you know that most salt also has ADDITIVES in them? ADDITIVES! ADDITIVES!!! ADDITIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one!!! Additives like magnesium carbonate and sodium aluminosilicate to increase flow and decrease clumping. I don't know what those CHEMIKILLZ are, but they sound toxic to me! I think it's because of them that we have so many people with diabetes, cancer (all the cancers!), blindness, hair loss, and allergies! And salt can be used as an antiseptic folks. An ANTISEPTIC. How could eating something that is an antiseptic be safe for you?!?! How is that not going to kill the good bacteria you need in your gut? An antiseptic is an antiseptic folks! You are killing the good bacteria if you consume salt!!!! PS: Thanks to tons of commentators from this very enjoyable thread for inspiring this satirical post: http://ift.tt/1zcprSw :-)
