This is one of the most interesting things I've read in awhile.

Stanford’s Gravity Probe B confirms two Einstein theories
After 52 years of conceiving, testing and waiting, marked by scientific advances and disappointments, one of Stanford’s and NASA’s longest-running projects comes to a close with a greater understanding of the universe.
Here is the article: Einstein proven right, again | Watts Up With That?

Now here's something more recent that is hella cool (plus funny because I got an infraction at "physics forums" a couple of years ago for suggesting that there were things in this continuum/universe that travel faster than light, we just had not been able to find a way to observe them yet):

Neutrinos Travel Faster Than Light, According to One Experiment


If it's true, it will mark the biggest discovery in physics in the past half-century: Elusive, nearly massless subatomic particles called neutrinos appear to travel just faster than light, a team of physicists in Europe reports. If so, the observation would wreck Einstein's theory of special relativity, which demands that nothing can travel faster than light.
Here's the article: Neutrinos Travel Faster Than Light, According to One Experiment - ScienceNOW

Again, someone at Physics Forums was pretty upset at me for suggesting this a couple of years ago. I wasn't even flaming, either! I just posted a couple of links to some articles about people researching faster-than-light and the mod was like "grrr, you have offended us! go elsewhere!"

Seriously.
