You don't refute an experimental result by saying you can't explain it
with current Physics. You refute it with another experimental result,
or by pointing to a flaw in the experimental setup. The energy
spectrum as seen by OPERA contained many more events than this one of
ICARUS, so I don't see what's new about it. OTOH, if ICARUS can
publish time-tagged events from the last 500ns-spaced bunched beam
run, with an independent acquisition chain from that of OPERA, that
would be very interesting.

Cheers,

Javier

[time-nuts] Faster than light neutrino... again

2011-11-16 Thread Javier Herrero

Hello,

A paper about has been published, entitled "Relativity accommodates 
superluminal mean velocities". According to the author, the surprise is 
not that the mean velocity measured for the neutrinos by the OPERA team 
is is greater than c, but the exceeding amount.


"Contrarily to a widespread belief, measures of velocity can yield a 
value larger than c, the light
speed in vacuum, without contradicting Einstein’s relativity. 
Nevertheless, the effect turns out to
be too small to explain the recently claimed superluminal velocity by 
the OPERA collaboration."

Best regards,

Javier

A common proof technique in math is to assume X is true then show if
it is then 1=0 or some other condition we know is wrong.   So
therefore X is not true.

That is what I was getting at.  Assume C is not a hard speed limit.
Then what must be true?   I'm sure something we currently believe to
be not true is implied by this.

I read this in the newspaper today.  The author of course did not
understand the science.

If this result is confirmed it really changes things.  but I'm more
willing to bet they find some hidden error in the experiment.  I hope
they don't  Physics needs to be shaken up.

Now I wish I had taken classes like differential geometry and
topology.  My guess if this result holds is that neutrinos are taking
a "short cut" and maybe don't see the curvature of space and take
straight path, not noticing that there is gravity.

I checked my neutrino detector yesterday and detected some of those faster than 
light neutrions tomorrow  ;-)
