This is exciting stuff. If neutrinos can go faster than the speed of light, then could we potentially as well someday?
Depends on a great many factors.
Is the specific flavor of neutrino the only exception? Is the entire theory off its rocker?
There needs to be many more experiments to see if what we are seeing is actually what is occurring, and if so, how far does the "hole" go.
If it's true then it's back to square one, or at least square two, something no one should be happy with.
I think it's better if what we already consider to be true actually turns out to be true. The less false avenues we have to backtrack on the better.No one should be happy about? Are you crazy?!
This is a huge leap forward even if we have to backtrack!
This is the true beauty of science, I love it!

It is necessary here to note that since distance from source to detector and time offsets necessary to determine the travel time of neutrinos have not been remeasured, the related systematics (estimated as well as -possibly- underestimated ones) are unchanged. The measurement therefore is only a "partial" confirmation of the earlier result: it is consistent with it, but could be just as wrong as the other.
Are you kidding?If it's true then it's back to square one, or at least square two, something no one should be happy with.
Not those ways that lead up false avenues. I see them as wasted effort; not that they are unavoidable. The more often we can hit the bullseye the better.It is probably because I am a scientist but I see it completely differently.
Right or wrong, its a step in the right direction either way.
Sorry but I find progress more important than the orgasmic needs of salivating want-to-bes.Revoltingest said:Are you kidding?
PhD candidates are salivating at the chance to overturn the apple cart.
Okay. I simply haven't found complexity itself to be necessarily more interesting.Science is so interesting because things are always more complex than we thought.
For your sake I hope so.And ultimately, this will lead to better bacon.

Interesting notion. My guess, and that's all it is, is that you would never be able to construct that last inch so as to survive a fraction of an attosecond.I have never accepted light speed was the limit.
If you took and built a pole from the equator at a certain height the pole would be moving at light speed. make the pole 1' longer and the tip will be moving faster then lights speed.
The tip never moves at light speed, disregarding the fact that you eventually break all possible materials. The tip always moves slightly faster, but the speed difference gets smaller as the pole gets longer. I could do the math if you like.I have never accepted light speed was the limit.

With us only being a advanced civilization for a short 100-200 years if that long. I can be certain we are a long way from understanding everything

Yes, but it is, so there. (at least, it is for linear time. Non-linear time gets wibbly-wobbly very very quickly.)danged math!!!! GGrr LOL
but could the math be wrong if lightspeed is not the speed limit ?
