Faster than light and time travel into the past.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The recent findings from CERN regarding neutrinos suggest that they may have traveled faster than light, challenging established concepts in physics. According to the theory of relativity, if particles exceed the speed of light, they could theoretically move backward in time. However, CERN scientists have not observed any evidence of this phenomenon, indicating that faster-than-light travel does not necessarily imply time travel into the past. This conclusion raises significant questions about the validity of certain aspects of relativity theory.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's theory of relativity
  • Familiarity with particle physics and neutrinos
  • Basic knowledge of experimental physics methodologies
  • Awareness of CERN's research and findings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of CERN's neutrino findings on relativity theory
  • Study the concept of causality in physics
  • Explore the experimental methods used in particle physics at CERN
  • Investigate alternative theories to time travel and faster-than-light travel
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the implications of faster-than-light travel and its relationship with time travel concepts.

Hey i am new in this forum and just want to share my thoughts with you guyz at the recent finding at CERN .


If the findings of CERN experiment are correct then does it means that time travel into the past is proved WRONG.?

Because according to relativity theory if something moves faster than light it would move backword in time.
So if neutrino's actually moved faster than light (as reported by CERN scientist) then according to relativity theory scientist should have received them at the other end before they actually triggered them, but scientists have not reported anyting like that. So does this mean that moving faster than light does not force to go backword in time.


(my english is bad, but i think i am able to convey my point ).
