CE#2 Is The Theory Of Light Wrong? Listeria Outbreak In Cantaloupe

Is the theory of light wrong?
     Prominence-Albert Einstein, known as a total genius, might be wrong for his greatest theory. His theory on light, how nothing can travel faster than light, might be proved wrong by a group of physicist in Switzerland and Italy.     
    Drama-This event has caused much talk in the scientific community, even questioning if any of the other things that Einstein's theory could be proved wrong.
    Summary-Scientist have found particles that are slightly faster than light. Scientist have been checking this for about six months.This does not mean that he is completely wrong. Einstein's theory is that no solid object can travel faster than light in a closed vacuum. This could still prove Einstein's theory is still right.
     Reaction-Just because we have found new particles doesn't necessarily prove Einstein's theory wrong. You see Einstein's theory says that a solid object can't travel faster than light in a vacuum. Einstein was and still is a genius the problem is that science changes. As science changes theories might change. It doesn't mean that the theory is wrong. Is that a new thing has come into the mix.

Listeria Outbreak in Cantaloupe
     Impact-There has been 13 deaths, a shocking number, because of the recent listeria outbreak in cantaloupe. The death poll could even reach to 16. This is mainly to effect newborn babies, pregnant women, and, the elderly.
     Proximity-There were reports of this cantaloupe caused illness in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Colorado. Which means that there has been food poisoning in these states. Some deaths were in these states, but not all.
     Summary-Many states have been affected with listeria.This has affected Kansas with two deaths. The problem with listeria is that it grows in room temperature and most people have there cantaloupe at room temperature. Luckily this does not affect the entire groups of people. The outbreak has caused a shocking number of deaths. This is the biggest health outbreak in the history of the U.S.
      Reaction-This is incredible. 16 deaths is just amazing. Considering it is the biggest health outbreak it just amazing that I didn't get infected. My family sometimes buy fruit, cantaloupe being one of them, and I can say it's lucky my family and I didn't get affected. Hopefully there are no more deaths. This doesn't affect me even though it only really affects newborns, pregnant women, and, the elderly. But still any disease can effect anybody.
