Neutrino experiment repeat at Cern finds same result

[Steven]

The team behind the finding in September that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and found the same result.

Good for them.

That Einstein was a thicko.

It's not such a shocking revelation and it doesn't follow that warp drive and time travel are possible. Neutrinos are virtually mass-less particles, so it doesn't violate E=mc^2 by travelling at lightspeed. In terms of scale, if a hydrogen atom was the size of the Solar system, a single neutrino would be the size of a golfball. That's ****ing small.

Crikey. It's been a long and lonely road but I think I've found someone with some perspective and understanding on the issue.

We should move out to the country together, throw away our televisions and live in glorious, glorious isolation.

Does this all mean the Borg are definitely coming, or what ?

They're just around the corner.

No, but there may be tribble ahead.

virtually mass less isn't mass less

and relavity says anything of non zero rest mass cannot be sped up to the speed of light, so it would violate current thinking

 

[Ian Marshall]

In Einstein's day nothing so small had even been conceived. The equation as a general sort of model still stands up to a decent level of scrutiny.

That's not strictly true. It's just the energy involved doing it would be prohibitive.

er? is this the same Einstein who theorised photons? the zero rest-mass tiny sub-atomic particle?

 

[Darth Vodka]

ok...cannot practically be sped up

She's on her way, that's all I'm bothered about...

Yes, but it wouldn't require infinite energy to get there

You bring a blanket and I'll bring a box of green Rizlas

She's only number 7. Imagine what number 1 is like.
