Faster than light speeds confirmed

[Garuda]

The BBC reports that:



The team behind the finding in September that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and found the same result.

I am a big cheerleader for FTL myself but what you have to understand is the implication and the reality of what this test implies is the neutrino arrived before it started.

If FTL be the case than you must also realize that how we perceive the Universe is false which is how my understanding of the Universe operates, on a false presumption.

So if the methodology holds up to peer review than another reality can also mean many realities and the mind is but an instrument to translate what is around us whether that be true or real is another question.

Pair Creation Constrains Superluminal Neutrino Propagation

The OPERA collaboration claims that muon neutrinos with a mean energy of 17.5 GeV travel 730 km from CERN to the Gran Sasso at a speed exceeding that of light by about 7.5  km/s or 25 ppm. However, we show that superluminal neutrinos may lose energy rapidly via the bremsstrahlung of electron-positron pairs (ν→ν+e-+e+). For the claimed superluminal velocity and at the stated mean energy, we find that most of the neutrinos would have suffered several pair emissions en route, causing the beam to be depleted of higher energy neutrinos. This presents a significant challenge to the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA data. Furthermore, we appeal to Super-Kamiokande and IceCube data to establish strong new limits on the superluminal propagation of high-energy neutrinos.

It will be awhile before we learn the truth on this one. Science is a religion and the dogma is being questioned.:confused:

Neutrinos clocked at light-speed in new Icarus test
By Jason Palmer Science and technology reporter, BBC News

An experiment to repeat a test of the speed of subatomic particles known as neutrinos has found that they do not travel faster than light.
Results announced in September suggested that neutrinos can exceed light speed, but were met with scepticism as that would upend Einstein's theory of relativity.
A test run by a different group at the same laboratory has now clocked them travelling at precisely light speed.
The results have been posted online (http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.3433).
