I did not expect to report on this again so quickly but the people at CERN have been able to repeat their experiment with greater accuracy and certainty. And the result confirms the previous findings! From a BBC report (the BBC is usually quick to report science stories and does so with commendable clarity):
"When the Opera team ran the improved experiment 20 times, they found almost exactly the same result."
"This additional test we made is confirming our original finding, but still we have to be very prudent, still we have to look forward to independent confirmation. But this is a positive result."
As mentioned above, independent confirmation is needed. That is to say confirmation of the results by other physicists elsewhere using different equipment. Until this happens there will be a lot of skepticism about the result.
The OPERA recorded speed of Neutrino which is more than light. Before 23 years, I had proved mathematically that relative velocity may be more than light velocity. CERN proved experimentally that velocity of Neutrinos may be more than light, if this news will be confirmed then that will be new beginning of physics. So, it is necessary to think different than old concept of science.
ReplyDeletePlease read paper "What is matter & dark matter is made up of?" on my web site www.maheshkhati.com. This paper may help to find solution to this problem & other problems like what is dark matter? & about true relativity. I strongly oppose special theory of relativity
