mishra Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Read the thread :haha: :hysterical: tum log to personal neutrino banane lage ho
Lurker Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 So what is the bottomline here? CERN was right or not? Speed of light still the barometer?
Ram Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 They did it again, this apparently under more controlled conditions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15791236
ViruRulez Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 ***. e=Mc^2 down the drain? Now loads of basics of physics would need to be reworked it seems. ;) More grave than the Y2K problem maybe. :P Does this mean that Stephen Hawkins' theories will also fail as he also kept the light barrier speed as the base while making calculations. Very interesting indeed. And does it also mean that a time machine might indeed be possible in coming decades. Or a spacecraft which can travel a lot faster compared to earlier ones. Hmmm. Did anyone watch the Discovery episode of Hawking on Time Machine. Interesting correlation here and might mean new possibilities.
Sachinism Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Faster-than-light neutrino result reportedly a mistake caused by loose cable Since September, scientists have been scratching their head over results that appear to show neutrinos traveling between Switzerland and Italy faster than light would. As far as anyone could tell, the team behind the results had done everything they could to eliminate errors, and had even released some preliminary data that had strengthened their results. But the results remained difficult to square with everything else we know about how the Universe operates. But now, ScienceInsider is reporting that there was a good reason the measurements and reality weren't lining up: a loose fiber optic cable was causing one of the atomic clocks used to time the neutrinos' flight to produce spurious results. If the report is confirmed (right now, there's only one source), then it provides a simple explanation for the fascinating-yet-difficult-to-accept results. According to the new report, researchers are preparing to gather new data with the clocks properly hooked into computers, which should definitively indicate whether the loose connection was at fault. It's somewhat ironic that ScienceInsider, which is part of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, broke the news now. Over the weekend, the AAAS held its annual meeting, which included a discussion of the biggest news in physics, where the neutrino results were highlighted. The session indicated that five different neutrino experiments were upgrading their hardware in order to check timing, and some would have data before the year is out. So even if this report doesn't pan out, we should know more soon. At the AAAS meeting's discussion, CERN's director of research, Sergio Bertolucci, placed his bet on what the results would be: "I have difficulty to believe it, because nothing in Italy arrives ahead of time." http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2012/02/faster-than-light-neutrino-result-apparently-a-mistake-due-to-loose-cable.ars Other source: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/02/breaking-news-error-undoes-faster.html?ref=hp Science fail.

punjabi_khota Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Lol what a bummer mother****er
akshayxyz Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 BC.. ab bradman ke videos se hee kaam chalana padega.
akshayxyz Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Apparently the 'loose cable' thing is not entirely true. Here is more reliable reading. http://profmattstrassler.com/2012/02/23/opera-in-question/
Iconoclast Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 The bartender says, "we don't allow faster than the speed of light neutrino's in here." A neutrino walks into a bar. :P
Ram Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Loose cable leading to spurious readings? I totally believe that.
Precambrian Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 And how many billions did they smoke for this rubbish experiment?
Crookbond Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 The same amount of money CSK smoked on R Jadeja. :hehe:
Texy Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 how is this news? our Zelig the lungi has breached that speed on his 1st sexual encounter w/ his hand
