Faster Than Light - Neutrinos? Physics as we know it.

I'm totally hung up on this and think it's absolutely amazing, and I'm already trying to think of a way to wrap my truck in Neutrinos and get to work in less than .00007ns on a Monday morning.

Just a couple links for your reading pleasure... Relativity what? What now Einstein.. eat it!

I can read stuff like that all day......
I think Einsteins Special Theory of Relativity dealt with travel faster than the speed of light.
However, I would love to see what you truck looked like after accelerating at those speeds.

This conclusion is still very much under scrutiny so I wouldn't call Einstein wrong yet.

I read that a few years ago the same results had happened but the margin of error called it into question. This time at CERN the margin of error was reported to be something like 10ns and the Neutrino's clocked the trip at 60ns faster than light, well within that margin of error.

If the additional confirming studies show similar results that would prove to be quite exciting. I don't think relativity would be dead but need to be tweaked a little to accommodate for new findings.

This would be amazing if FTL particles were really true.

Just because I remember this topic was somewhat necro'd yesterday, I read an update on it today. Here is the link: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/02/breaking-news-error-undoes-faster.html

Well it's appropriate that this topic was Necro'd - I heard on NPR this morning that they attributed false test results to a bad connection between a GPS and the computer that made the calculations. Will read the article, probably the same info.
