One of the tenets of special relativity is that as matter approaches the speed of light it becomes more massive. Even though a neutrino is very light, it still has mass. Some how this all seems a bit fishy. By the way, there is a theoretical particle called a tachyon that also travels faster than the speed of light. It's very famous has has been confirmed by Hollywood in the Star Trek labs.
Pretty sure when they went back to verify, they found a timing issue that gave them the slightly faster result. I remember an article about this a while back.
You noticed that too? The research that he did was actually from a few years ago. I guess they dug it up for that special day and reposted it http://nautil.us/issue/24/error/the-data-that-threatened-to-break-physics http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/03/leaders-faster-light-experiment-step-down https://www.bbc.com/news/av/science...tonio-ereditato-on-unexpected-results-at-cern
You're absolutely right. Let's just throw out everything we discovered through research and go party at the edge of the world where the water falls off like it's 1299 A.D.
Oh, I'm not down on science. I love that shit. I'm just tired of the arrogance of the ones that read A Brief History Of Time, half of The Voyage of The Beagle and 30 pages of some Nicola Tesla Ebook and consider themselves experts on all things science and get all pissy when I tell them science is just a faith and a fluid one at that.
The fact the dude’s theories have stood up for so long (save for the cosmological constant) is fantastic.
And unlike climate science they are saying it is so significant that everyone should proceed with extreme caution versus running around screaming the world is burning.
There is no actual "time" therefore there can exist no "speed" which is simply distance over time. Distance is real. Time is a concept. Time is a perceived interval based on frequency (earth revolutions, drumbeats, cesium decay, etc. ) which only exists from the vantage point of the perception of the observer (human). Humanity is light-years (get it?) away from ever grasping even the basics of how any of it works.
