Yes. However, in context the type, as in jazz, classical, heavy metal, etc. can have different affects on how a person processes other things or problems etc.. Only as example and granted an extreme case... for me now some types of music can evoke a dominating emotional response. That kind of...

I don’t believe that listening to music itself results in brain damage. I think DaveC426913, has captured the functional impact, most succinctly. To this I’d add the following. Depending on the “style” of music you listen to over time it will influence the development of how the brain...

mfb is right in pointing out that my question and discussion is beyond the scope of a B level thread. Perhaps even an A level discussion.

Moving too fast yes, as seen from an outside observer. Opposite to what I was saying no. If the spacetime associated with a galaxy is itself orbiting the galaxy, to an outside observer a particle (or massive object) would appear to have an orbital velocity that is the product of the "orbital"...

mfb, this is a good point, both to the original OP's question, where it leads to introduction of Dark Matter (or sometimes less popular ideas) to explain the orbital velocities observed for objects near the outer edges of galactic systems.., and to my question about the possibility that there...

I understand what you are talking about. I followed the GP-B experiment very closely. What I was intending to suggest or question was whether frame dragging effect has a persistent dynamic effect on spacetime itself... This would probably be more significant where linear frame dragging is...

Apologizing in advance for a long, drawn out and perhaps at times redundant and confusing, attempt to question a potential previously unaddressed contribution to the issue being raised in the OP... And without attempting to suggest this is an answer.., or even valid issue, treat the following...

The issue involved here represents "null" results when looking for a proposed analogue Cherenkov radiation associated with FTL neutrinos. What I mean here is though the original paper by Glashow and Cohen has merit, it is a theoretical paper, with no confirmation. Until the theorized analogue...

This is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology site, a respected university. I did not check all of the links but those I did check are all reputable sources, of information.

Despite the credentials of the authors, I think the Cohen-Glashow paper is speculative. The OPERA results will be re tested. They will be confirmed or some fault will be discovered. If the OPERA results are confirmed the Cohen-Glashow predictions will probably get dusty. If not, someone...

They did a short test run, that was reported in section 9 of the revised paper, Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam. It was more a proof of method than a full experimental run. And yes it did support the earlier result and addresses a few of the...

As I mentioned a page or so back, it is my understanding that CERN will be making a short burst neutrino stream available, later this year. This should provide more data. I also heard that Fremi was upgrading some equipement necessary to run a duplicate, but I have no idea how long those...

I don't believe that follows, from the situation, as it stands. Cherenkov radiation is already observed for charged particles and only requires that they exceed the speed of light in a medium other than vacuum. The Cohen-Glashow paper was projecting a similar effect for FTL neutrinos, even...

While it is also my understanding that Einstein may not have been aware of the Michelson and Morley experiments, he was aware of at least some of the experimental attempts to discover the Earth's motion relative to the ether. (there were other attempts both before and after M&M.) from the...

It was my understanding that Fermilab was upgrading some equipement necessisary to duplicate the experiment. It sounded like that was mostly timing issues. I don't know how long that will take. I also understood that CERN was to make a proton stream available to re-run the short burst...
