Reports of particles traveling faster than light may be due to be equipment error and not a breakthrough discovery, but more tests are needed, researchers said on Thursday.

The world of fundamental physics was in for a shock in September, when researchers reported neutrinos crossing the distance from the CERN laboratory in Geneva to the Gran Sasso laboratory near L'Aquila in Italy 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light.

The result put the Theory of Relativity, the foundation of modern physics, into question, as one of its basic rules is that nothing travels faster than light.

But the unorthodox result could have been achieved due to a bad connection between a fiber cable and a computer used in the experiment, which resulted in neutrino speed being overestimated, CERN researchers said.

However, a faulty GPS unit could have also distorted the measurements the other way, downplaying the speed of neutrinos, already exceeding the speed of light, the researchers said.

A new round of tests expected to clarify the matter is set for May.

    It happens as if Relativity Theory has came not be defied at all in a way like old greek theory did under the Pope protection. It is completely doubtfull that Einstein be totally right in all he asserted if one well know that his theory do not works well in quantum physics. Einstein himself mocked at quantum theory appealing even to God. I think that all dogma protecting Einstein theory and the imutability of light velocity is a kink of jew protection. To me that is more religion than science.
  • arnoldvinette@yahoo.comWhat happens to energy exceeding the speed of light?

    This is an interesting video on youtube that I came across that discusses what happens to energy that exceeds the speed of light.

    It is in agreement with the conclusions in this article that particles cannot exceed the speed of light based on current theory.

    The details of the youtube video are written out below as well as my own comments.

    The concepts are very interesting and also answer the issue of dark matter, the function of black holes at the center of galaxies, and how hydrogen gets created in our universe to create the hydrogen clouds that later on compress under gravity to form suns, then create the other elements of the periodic table.

    Time is the Missing Dark Matter

    Time plus Energy equals Mass Energy cannot exceed the Speed of Light which is measured A to Z, but if energy is forced to the speed of light squared and encounters or collides with Time Positive the impact will drag A over Z and Mass in the form of Hydrogen is the result. If Einstein’s most famous equation is reversed to divide mass instead of multiplying it then the weight of time is the result.

    T = H / (C * C)

    This is why gravity and time are related. Both are weights.

    E = M * C * C


    All Energy returns to an Original State. In a Time Negative environment, Energy and Mass will return to the Raw Energy that existed before the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, Time only existed in Negative Form.

    When the Raw Energy and Time Negative are released into a relatively low gravity, Time will position itself Positive and some energy exceeding the speed of light squared when Time goes Positive will bind with Time and the earliest forms of atoms will be conceived.

    There are multiple ways that Raw Energy and Time Negative can be released from Black Holes, Mega Black Holes, and Super Mega Black Holes. There is the Big Bang of course and collisions of a large nature, some examples would be; large Star with a Black Hole or Black Hole with a Mega Black Hole and so on. My personal favourite is not a collision but the Binary Interaction of two Mega Black Holes that create a Bar Rotation inside a Spiral Galaxy like the Milky Way Galaxy.

    Like a Cake Mixer the two Giants spin against each other and Time Positive, Mass and Energy are ripped from the Galaxy and at the same time the two Mega Black Holes spin out the Seeds of New Life to the far reaches of the Galaxy. Old is sucked in and New is flung out along the spinning Bar creating the spiral formation.

    --------------

    Life then evolves into more and more complex forms until it is shaping inorganic life into more and more complex forms.

    The fundamental Law of the Universe is for energy to evolve into more and more complex states of matter be it organic or inorganic. A human using a computer for instance.

    Your explanation is PERFECT. If energy is forced to the speed of light squared and encounters or collides with Time Positive the impact will drag A over Z and Mass in the form of Hydrogen is the result.

    ------------

    I have had a very difficult time with the concept of a Black Hole being at the centre of our universe. Why? Experiment. Fill a sink with water and pull out the plug. Observation. Gravity causes the water to flow down the sink drain until it is gone. So why do all galaxies exist if there is a Black Hole in the middle of them? Why is the galaxy of stars NOT consumed?

    The Binary Interaction of two Mega Black Holes that create a Bar Rotation inside a Spiral Galaxy like the Milky Way Galaxy.

    Like a Cake Mixer the two Giants spin against each other and Time Positive, Mass and Energy are ripped from the Galaxy and at the same time the two Mega Black Holes spin out the Seeds of New Life to the far reaches of the Galaxy. Old is sucked in and New is flung out along the spinning Bar creating the spiral formation.

    This explains why the Black Hole(s) are not consuming their galaxy but are rather part of the process of its birth releasing energy that then becomes new hydrogen atoms.

    -------------

    Your explanation of missing Dark Matter as being Time is the profound answer that people are looking for. It is such a conceptual leap to see Time in this way.

    Time is the right answer though, based on the rest of your explanations.

    It gives us a entirely new way of looking at Time, what it is and how Time itself affects our universe.

    The fundamental properties of spacetime provide for creation of matter (hydrogen) in our universe from energy. This matter is then governed by time & gravity.
