Maybe the particle traveled to another dimension and came back? Or could it have passed through a wirmwhole created inadvertently by the hugh collider? Einstein can't be wrong on this, not after the proof by so many experiments: the atom bomb, the bent of light by the sun, the atom clock etc. Heck even today's GPS system uses Einstein's theory or relativity to compensate the delays caused by the slow down of time due to the fast motions of the satellites. I believe they may have found something. But if they did it most likely will lead us to an uncharted territory of science in which Einstein's theory becomes a valid one only in a subset of something even bigger. Kind of like what Einstein did to Newton. Interesting times indeed. I'm glad they completed the collider before the Greece meltdown
You're doing the math wrong, I think. It's about 7,287 m/s faster than the speed of light, or over 21 times the speed of sound faster. It's only 0.00243% faster than the speed of light, but 0.00243% of 299,792,458 m/s is still quite a difference. light_v = 299792458 m/s light_t = 740000 / 299792458 = 0.002468374304466 s = 2468374.304466 ns neutrino_t = 2468374.304466 - 60 ns = 2468314.304466 neutrino_v = 740000 / 0.002468314304466 = 299799745 m/s
Swoly, your wife says hello, and that you need to get back to work, she is tired of having to work too. DD
I'm not a match wiz but I'm not sure how you got that equation. I thought 60nanosecond is 0.000000006 of a 1 second.
I've always wondered why the speed of light is the terminal velocity. If something is already traveling the speed of light and you apply more energy why doesn't it go faster? ( I assume it just gets heavier) I don't think anything can go back in time. The definition of time is always relative. You can only define time by comparing the change in position of two or more systems i.e. you can't tell time without a watch. However fast something is going (faster then the speed of light), every thing else in the universe is moving relative to it too. To say you are going back in time, the position of all the other matter would have to appear as it did before you started. But it never will because it has it's own movement. Everything in the universe is moving away from the point of origin at the speed of light. The universe is always different at any two points you observe So if there were a measure of time it would be a measure of entropy. It's this far from singularity and that far to total chaos where no more energy is exchanged.
I always consider the BACK IN TIME type of thing to be like I see you murder Shrek today. If I can travel fast enough. I can get far enough in from of the light reflecting off you murdering Shrek I can see it again . . . .as it I went back and time and saw it. Kind of like getting passed by the same car I could be wrong.. . but I thought someone either discover or hypothosize that there are Particles that can never go SLOWER than the speed of light They live in such a hyper active state that going that slow is a terminal velocity or some such Rocket River
However you could very well LOOK into the past by traveling into space past the speed of light. The further you go past the 'present' light emanated of earth the further into the past you may look. If you were to turn around and see earth you would be seeing earth as it was in the past.. 8 minutes, 8 years, 80 years, 800 years.. However I would suspect you would need a awesome telescope to look back and see earth 800 years ago in good detail.
Ok I see what you did there by going with the given 732km. But will it still hold true they tested at 300,000km?
****the Euros beat us to this too. We no even have working bRidges but at least we ain't Greek and stupid.
Anything going the speed of light has no mass. If you apply more energy to something that is the speed of light then it changes to a shorter wavelength. Also, when you add energy to a massive object then you are also adding mass since energy has mass. So you need infinite energy to accelerate a massive particle to the speed of light. Also, the speed of light is the terminal velocity because from what we know time only moves in one direction. If you went faster than light then the mathematics state you would be going back in time. I really hope that is right and that I have learned something from the stuff I have been reading....someone please correct me if I am wrong!
I would be very, very surprised if this result turns out to be real. But damn, it would be pretty cool if the current preconceptions of physics were broken once again :grin:
