She departed one day in a relative way and returned on the previous night. _________________________ "When I saw The Matrix at a local theatre in Slovenia, I had the unique opportunity of sitting close to the ideal spectator of the film - namely, to an idiot." - Slavoj Zizek

Back to task; reiterating what Truzzi said and Sagan repeated, ... Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Perhaps many years down the road, a violation from this data set will be proven. Right now it remains an anomaly. _________________________ If you can defeat me in a fair same altitude duel, you are either Hartmann's ghost or you have a ganja problem that needs treatment.

During and after post-doc, I worked at ITER on magnetohydrodynamics and magnetic containment. Be interested in your work. _________________________ If you can defeat me in a fair same altitude duel, you are either Hartmann's ghost or you have a ganja problem that needs treatment.

Gopher Senior Member Registered: 01/06/09 Posts: 3456 Loc: London	An anomaly, yes, but a very much repeated one. One thing that would definitely lend credence to this is if another group (Fermilab?) could give it a few tries as well. That would reduce the possibility that there is a local physics violation field surrounding CERN.

WhistlinggDeath Member Registered: 02/01/11 Posts: 605 Loc: La Jolla, CA	What is a local physics violation field ? Oh, I am sure people will be dying to repeat this to the nth degree. Fermilab included.

jt_medina Member Registered: 07/06/05 Posts: 1114 Loc: Destination Unknown...	I think there has to be some type of particles in specific conditions that had to be able to travel faster than the speed of light if not the universe wouldn't be able to expand faster than the light itself. I think that's one of the reasons why we can't see the end of the universe....Or maybe the universe is twice as old as we think it is?!. But apparently the particles seen traveling faster than light are neutrinos which are supposed to be the remains of subatomic particles as the result of nuclear activity. Which in the end if neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light couldn't it play an important role in the expansion of the universe?. Just guessing. _________________________ "Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand" - Martin Fowler.
