Particles faster than light measured

"We don't allow faster than light neutrinos in here," says the bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar.

I need to find the article when i get home, but i read something that proposed that a neutrino traveling faster than a photon should not be so shocking. It pointed back to String Theory and/or M-Theory and said that the neutrinos in this experiment may have just passed out of our membrane of the universe and into another in which there is no universal speed limit. I'm paraphrasing and going off of memory but what i read was pretty mind blowing.

Quit with the lame neutrino jokes, i already heard them all next week.

Even if the neutrino did travel faster than light, string theory already has an answer for it. The neutrino could have passed into one of potentially 26 different dimensions. It could also be quantum tunneling. If this turns out to be true there are physicists that already have a theoretical explanation on why it did what it did.

Best Abstract Ever.

Faster-than-light particles repeat speed despite tweaks

Well that's good news. More testing still needs to be done, but it's looking good .

Have you ever read a book called "The End of Eternity" by Isaac Asimov? If not I recommend it.
Note: It isn't about faster than light travel as such but it is about the possibility of sending people back in time to alter past events.

I would like to understand the implications of causing a particle to travel faster than light-speed. If scientists can cause a sub-atomic particle to travel faster than light can we then be able to cause other items with greater mass to travel faster than light or approaching light speed. This could be an amazing leap in technology.

Well, the scientists who are actually holding the experiments in particle collision would also like to understand the implications.

Let them get a handle on that, and then somebody can break it down for you. As it stands, the answer is pretty much a *shrug* since the broadest way in which to put it is "it changes a lot about our understanding of particle physics."

Soooo different.

EDIT: This would require the master theory. The Theory of Everything I do so believe.

I agree and yet I disagree. I know that sounds confusing but hear me out.

Those who generally have an agenda (i.e. theists and conspiracy theorists) against science are going to look for any inconsistency they can find to try and cast doubt on the scientific method. They do this because they have an ideology they wish to promote. Be it an experiment like this or a batch of e-mails those who wish to cast science in a negative light are going to find any damned excuse they can to blather on about their stupid bullshit to the point that you and me are ripping out what little hair we have left (I shave my head regularly). So yes, when the media jumps to early conclusions those on the negative end are going to pounce like rabid hamsters and run with it.

Those of us who are genuinely interested in the PROCESS of science know that things like this happen all the time and are eager and willing to hear the end result be it positive or negative. You and I (and a damn sight more people than we realize I tend to think) are fully aware that even when data is false or somehow the result of a mistake it is still data. Lessons are learned that can help us continue to learn even if those lessons are new ways to calibrate equipment or finding faults in previously accepted testing methods. The groups involved in this particular experiment and others are being very careful when talking to the media and making damn sure they explain the process every time a camera gets shoved in their face. This is the strength of science, knowing that you are fallible and accepting that.

I personally have a lot of hope that, handled correctly this experiment could open up a lot of people's minds about the scientific method and what it really is. The first step towards creating a scientifically literate public is making sure the public understands that science is a never ending process of collection, calculation, correction and re-calculation that leads us down the highway of knowledge. I say bring the media on and let them report on every step of the process of confirming or dis-proving this experiment. Sure some are going to take it any way they want but some more are actually going to learn something and the more learning we get the better.

This seems to be the cause. It's unfortunate, as I was looking forward to new physics.
It was probably a loose fiber optic cable.
