A meeting at Cern, the world’s largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light. The team presented its work so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes. If it does not, one of the pillars of modern science will come tumbling down.

It was dubstep though that unlocked Blake’s creativity. Beforehand, he’d found his own lyrics “cringeworthy” and disliked the way he sang: “I felt like it wasn’t my own voice; it was the product of everything I’d listened to.” That all changed when he started to try and make his own dubstep tunes.
