Halt and Catch Fire
I think that was Motorola 6800 or 6809 CPUs - I can't remember

No you were wrong about the arsenic bit.
The reason why carbon seems so important is that it's got a lot of useful properties all in the one element
It can bond with 2,3 or 4 other atoms either with single. double, aromatic or triple bonds. It's reactivity can be altered relatively easily to make or break bonds. Long carbon chains can be relatively stable. Other elements don't have all or most of these properties. I could go on but it would end-up being a text-book in organic chemistry.
Worst than that.
The two proton beams at the LHC each almost travel at c. To an observer outside the beam it appears that the closing speed is ~2c, but to an observer traveling with a proton the closing speed will always appear to be <c
It's one of the reasons relativity always appears so bizarre to non-relativitists Worth looking up 4-velocity.
Oh, good grief !!
What they will be doing first is to try and duplicate the finding, preferably somewhere else with different equipment
Only on the basis of good hard experimental results that disagree with SR ( which has HUGE existing experimental support ) will there be a need for theorists to get involved.
Anything else is pure speculation for speculation's sake
Used extensively in the fine chemical industry - it's a high-boiling point dipolar aprotic solvent meaning it has a high dipole that helps to solubilize materials but isn't capable of ionizing under 'reasonable' conditions.
Reading the data sheet is a bit like looking up your symptoms in a medical dictionary - scary
With correct handling, ventilation and recycling it's no problem. Doesn't mean that you should be using it in a 'normal' inkjet printer though
I don't need to tell you anything - you already seem to know it all
As for Are they moviing faster than C?
Or are they traveling on a shorter path?
Until the experiment has been repeated by independent labs using diff.equipment then there isn't anything to explain.
As several other people have pointed out your understanding of GR's explanation for gravity is deeply flawed.
AFAIK it only forbids superluminal speeds* in a vacuum, but in anything else where light is traveling at less than c then these sort of effects (e.g. Cherenkov radiation) are seen.
* Yes, I know the theory only actually forbids reaching light speed not travelling faster
NONESENSE !
Particles created near black holes are effectively taking mass from the black hole which will eventually vanish ( if no matter replenishes the black hole ) This is exactly why micro black holes are thought to have a very short lifetime and hence if the LHC somehow managed to create any it wouldn't be a problem
"Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat"
Almost everyone who THOUGHT about it didn't think it was flat. Most people weren't bothered either way. Sailors and anyone living near the coast knew if wasn't flat, ships would slowly 'sink' below the horizon and then come back
