> neutrinos could travel faster than light, as spotted by the Italy-based experiment OPERA in 2011; another came after the discovery of gravitational waves using the South Pole-based BICEP2 telescope in 2014. I hate, no, I loathe how they conflated these two things. It's inaccurate and misleading. I expected better from Scientific American. The FLT neutrino discovery was proven incorrect and the result of faulting connection/wiring. The BICEP2 findings were not thrown out, and could still be correct. The only thing that happened with them is the confidence level was lowered a bit so it's still inconclusive. The people who are on the project still believe they spotted gravity waves but they need to further work to disprove/discount some other factors which could have accounted for their results. Basically, they're still working on it. Conflating the two makes it seem like both were flat out wrong. Only one was flat out wrong, the jury is still out on the other.
