Failing again. Failing better.
I’ve previously discussed the case of possibly-faster-than-light (FTL) neutrinos here, here, here, and here. But Scientific American put out an article that is pretty much the final word. It looks like it was an error in the timing system. The OPERA installation (and other labs around the world) have recreated the experiment, and none have…
I’ve written about the possibility of neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light (FTL) here, here, here, and here. But now there is a new press release from CERN. The story of FTL neutrinos began when CERN reported that experiments measured neutrinos moving 60 nanoseconds quicker than light over a distance of 730 km…
Here we go, folks. Yet another update on the faster than light (FTL) neutrinos reported by CERN experiments (previous posts here, here, and here). As a brief recap, last September, Physicists had detected neutrinos travelling from the CERN laboratory in Geneva to the Gran Sasso laboratory near L’Aquila that appeared to travel FTL. According to…
I have written here and here about CERN reporting that it had measured neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light (FTL), contradicting Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Today there is another update. One of the criticisms levied at the experiment (and one cited as a possible error in their calculations) is that the scientists…
Yesterday, I posted a story about the possibility that researchers at CERN may have recorded neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light. I was one of many people who were/are excited about the possibility of faster than light (FTL) travel not only because I’m a science fiction fan, but also because this is a…
