“The story captured the public imagination, and has given people the opportunity to see the scientific method in action – an unexpected result was put up for scrutiny, thoroughly investigated and resolved in part thanks to collaboration between normally competing experiments. That’s how science moves forward.”
What was this story?
Neutrino's moved FTL.
Thanks to SCIENCE the mumbo jumbo of the wacko's was proved false...
The laws of physics got the good news last Friday at the
25th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics in Kyoto, in a talk titled “
The neutrino velocity measurement by OPERA experiment”.
Slides (
PDF) accompanying the talk say the faster-than-light results generated in 2011 were likely the result of “Faulty connection of the optical fibre to the Master Clock artificially increasing the neutrino anticipation by ~74 ns.” The slides also say OPERA had another problem, namely “Internal Master Clock frequency off by Δf/f = 1.24x10-7 (124 ns/s) artificially decreasing the neutrino anticipation by ~15 ns.”
