Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos? Physics Luminaries Voice Doubts
- rbanffy 15y agoAllow me to quote Arthur C. Clarke. "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong." There probably is a measurement error somewhere in the experiment that accounts for the 60 nanoseconds. Whatever it is, it baffled some very clever physicists for quite some time before they decided to share their data. If, however, their measurements are correct, it will be very fun to watch.
- sidcool 15y agoThe luminaries should understand that precisely because CERN has been unable to find a system error, they have put forth the discovery in front of the world to scrutinize it. The luminaries, instead of voicing doubts, should be analyzing results. CERN is not North Korea to claim they performed a nuclear test and the US doubts the claims...
