debunked?!

debunked. thanks to rodsky for the link.

Einstein Was Right All Along: ‘Faster-Than-Light’ Neutrino Was Product of Error

A discovery that could have upended a century of physics research was caused by a loose cable. Phew.

[kentoy0224]

---- Today, the CERN team announced that the GPS system used to adjust the mechanism that timed the neutrinos’ journey had a loose fiber optic cable. When it was fixed — and its mistaken readings scrubbed from the data — the 60-nanosecond difference disappeared. ----

....and hence the end of their 15mins of fame

Lesson learned, change your cables before you change the foundations of physics hehehehe

does this mean kadto nakita nako sa usa ka article about neutrinos sa particle accelarator wala gyud mo travel faster than light? hehehehhe.dili na gyud ko updated da. seen that article 6 months ago na.

Interesting.. Nice ni dah.

tsk , , abi nakog mao natoy gihuwat nato para makatravel ta sa space in lightspeed da >.<

"This is all best guess. That's all science is, is best guess. " - Dr. Conrad Zimsky (The Core)

case to case basis, di generalized nga "all science" jud...kanang mga phenomena nga wala pay klarong theories, best guess jud na...pero kon established na ang theories, di na sad na guess

@geetarista unsay pasabot nimo na ang science kay best guess?

GENEVA (AP) — A startling find at one of the world's foremost laboratories that a subatomic particle seemed to move faster than the speed of light has scientists around the world rethinking Albert Einstein and one of the foundations of physics.

European researchers said they clocked an oddball type of subatomic particle called a neutrino going faster than the 186,282 miles per second that has long been considered the cosmic speed limit.
The claim was met with skepticism, with one outside physicist calling it the equivalent of saying you have a flying carpet. In fact, the researchers themselves are not ready to proclaim a discovery and are asking other physicists to independently try to verify their findings.
