Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


Einstein was Almost Certainly Wrong

The chances have risen that Einstein was wrong about a fundamental law of the universe. Scientists at the world's biggest physics lab say they have ruled out one possible error that could have distorted their startling measurements that appeared to show particles traveling faster than light.

Many physicists reacted with skepticism in September when measurements by French and Italian researchers seemed to show subatomic neutrino particles breaking what Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein considered the ultimate speed barrier.

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

I found one of the commenters on the story to have an interesting observation. If neutrinos travel faster than photons, it may be possible to 'see' events in the cosmos by detecting neutrinos before the event becomes optically detectable. This may be a way to confirm the results without the extremely rare laboratories that can match CERN.

Of course, I have no idea how neutrinos might be measured. Possibly measuring the galaxy's neutrino emissions are just as hard or harder than the existing laboratory test.
