A particle beating a speed of "299792458M/S"

Resonance Cascade**

This in no way invalidates Eisenstein’s relativity. Just because a neutrino arrived earlier than expected if it traveled the full distance slower than the speed of light. It could be an error ( which may be the most likely explanation ), or it could be as simple as realizing that the particle didn’t travel the expected distance. neutrinos are low impacting and almost zero mass, which means they can be accelerated to nearly the speed of light. It would only take very minor events to alter the distance to allow this to happen.

It’s all still very interesting though. I look forward to what they find.

It’s spreading! :fffuuu:

:|?

Take your pick.

General, not special. Seriously did anyone even think I meant special?

@ MaxTheLimit: “Think you meant special”? What are you referring to?

SPECIAL RELATIVITY

GENERAL RELATIVITY

What do you kids learn in school these days?

inb4: Quantum Mechanics, ftw

ps: I have never know that Eisenstein published the relativity (no matter it’s special or general)

Well for one, we learn to name the correct person when talking about relativity. And if we do make that mistake and Frozen Cham and someonerandm (you clearly didn’t even click his link) point it out, it should have been obvious to deduct… apparently it’s not though :slight_smile:
Deduction, also something us kids learn in school these days.

So… these… Neutrinos can actually make flying carpets with warp drives?

Fuck off and blow me for recognizing a typo.

I’m not gonna lie, I only clicked that link because I work with a guy named Eisenstein.

A new test has been done (this time with very short beam pulses for better time measurement) and the particles were apperently still moving faster than light. One potential source of systematic error has now been ruled out. Further testing is required to rule out other possible errors. The Opera experiment will continue to take data with a new muon detector well into next year, to improve the accuracy of the results.

CERN official update 18/11 :

“This test confirms the accuracy of OPERA’s timing measurement, ruling out one potential source of systematic error. The new measurements do not change the initial conclusion. Nevertheless, the observed anomaly in the neutrinos’ time of flight from CERN to Gran Sasso still needs further scrutiny and independent measurement before it can be refuted or confirmed.”

Necro with a good news, THX :smiley:

I’m cheering for this to be true, age of quantum physics.

It has been an age of Quantum Physics for ages.

I’m merely glad the current model will be tested and revised with this new discovery which could to lead to massive changes in the fundamental laws, mainly, the law of reletivity.

But how does this help us play BMS sooner?

Well you see if the particle is moving faster than light we’ll have to find a way to transfer data with it. If we can do that, it could send the data back in time. Relatively speaking.

No, it would just get somewhere faster then it should.

If you sent something like you would on the internet, the latency would be much less then what it is now.

It would not bend time, pay attention in physics class next time.
