SUMMARY

The OPERA experiment has reported an anomaly in the flight time of neutrinos traveling from CERN to Gran Sasso, suggesting a potential violation of the speed of light. This finding, if confirmed, could represent the most significant scientific discovery in over a century, impacting theories related to EPR-Bell and non-locality. The initial measurements are documented in the paper "Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam," available on arXiv. Further verification through additional experiments is necessary to substantiate these claims.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of neutrino physics and the Standard Model
  • Familiarity with the OPERA detector and CNGS beam experiments
  • Knowledge of EPR-Bell theorem and concepts of non-locality
  • Basic grasp of scientific measurement and statistical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of neutrino speed anomalies on the Standard Model
  • Study the EPR-Bell theorem and its relevance to quantum mechanics
  • Examine the methodologies used in the OPERA experiment
  • Explore recent developments in neutrino research and related experiments
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in the implications of potential violations of fundamental physical laws.

Note: NOT finally confirmed yet!

Still, IF true it’s just amazing and the biggest discovery in over 100 years!

The 'main thread' for this is obvious over at SR & GR:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=532620

But I thought we could discuss the implications for EPR-Bell and Non-locality in this thread, i.e. IF this is confirmed to be true by further checks and experiments.

Exciting times! :cool:
