Superluminal Neutrino Breaks SR and GR ?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the claim of superluminal neutrinos that allegedly traveled faster than the speed of light, raising questions about the implications for Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR). Participants express confusion regarding the validity of these claims and seek clarification on the matter.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, Al, questions whether neutrinos have been observed traveling faster than light and requests proof for the claims made in various articles.
  • Another participant suggests that Al is late to the discussion and refers to an existing thread for more information.
  • A third participant seeks clarification on whether the situation is confirmed, uncertain, or resolved, indicating confusion about the status of the claims.
  • A later reply references a news article that suggests the possibility of faulty wiring as a reason for the reported superluminal speeds.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus; there are multiple competing views regarding the existence and confirmation of superluminal neutrinos, and the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the uncertainty surrounding the claims of superluminal neutrinos, including potential issues with experimental setups and the need for further confirmation.

Superluminal Neutrino Breaks SR and GR...?

I have reading a lot of articles and editorials about apparent neutrinos that went faster than the speed of light by 60 nanoseconds, I read some that say yes and no, so I'm a bit confused. So is it true?? Are there neutrinos that went faster than the speed of light?? If you could also provide proof for your answer that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Al

So is it yes, no, or is it yet to be confirmed? (instead of sorting out all answers in that thread)
