and then my brain broke

What?

How is this even possible?

Even at the sub-atomic level??

HOW?? I demand to know!

Oh...it's the "only violation" of conceivably unbreakable laws of physics; i.e. special relativity. Ok. Cool. (whatever)

No, seriously...how? If even it is sub-atomic, the particle--by definition--has some sort of mass, and I cannot understand how that mass can be propelled at a velocity exceeding light waves.

This is why I was a criminal justice major...and played football

stupid science ;)
