Round 2: Einstein's light-speed limit put to the test once more as CERN repeats its neutrino experiment


According to Einstein, the cosmic speed limit is 186,282 miles per second - the speed of light.

But last month scientists at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) claimed that they'd measured neutrino particles zooming along even quicker.

Critics argued that the organisation’s measurements were simply wrong, so the experiment is being run again. Stavros Kasavenas, deputy head of France's National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics told news agency AFP: ‘The new test began two or three days ago. The criticism is that the results we had were a statistical quirk. The test should help (us) address this.’

This time they will give it to someone with better reflexes. :evilgrin:

Actually the problem was not properly accounting for the timing between two GPS satellites.
There and back -
