    Is there any negative impact of music on the brain?

    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...

    Is there any negative impact of music on the brain?

    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...

    B Why don't galaxies obey gravity?

    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.

    B Why don't galaxies obey gravity?

    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"...

    B Why don't galaxies obey gravity?

    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...

    B Why don't galaxies obey gravity?

    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...

    B Why don't galaxies obey gravity?

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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.

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...

    CERN team claims measurement of neutrino speed >c

    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...
