Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos – No Shame
Much was made of the FTL neutrinos that were apparently discovered last year. Whilst the media was sensational about the news, most scientists were sceptical, and for good reason. In the resulting search, a cable was found that was not … Continue reading
No Longer Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos?
Faster-than-light neutrinos are back in the news, although with a slight reduction in speed. More research by the OPERA collaboration has uncovered two possible flaws in the original experiments. Both flaws involve “the experiment’s pioneering use of Global Positioning System … Continue reading
