10 Reasons to Buy into Big Science Philip E. Gibbs

According a CERN News Release today (September 23, 2011), its "OPERA experiment reports anomaly in flight time of neutrinos from CERN to Gran Sasso." The anomaly indicates that neutrino may travel faster than the speed of light.

If this is independently confirmed beyond any doubt, it will be a major "Information for World Transformation" coming from CERN in the field of physics and science. We just have to wait and see.

The technical paper is here Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam in the arXiv and the Abstract states:

The OPERA neutrino experiment at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory has measured the velocity of neutrinos from the CERN CNGS beam over a baseline of about 730 km with much higher accuracy than previous studies conducted with accelerator neutrinos. The measurement is based on high-statistics data taken by OPERA in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dedicated upgrades of the CNGS timing system and of the OPERA detector, as well as a high precision geodesy campaign for the measurement of the neutrino baseline, allowed reaching comparable systematic and statistical accuracies. An early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos with respect to the one computed assuming the speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 \pm 6.9 (stat.) \pm 7.4 (sys.)) ns was measured. This anomaly corresponds to a relative difference of the muon neutrino velocity with respect to the speed of light (v-c)/c = (2.48 \pm 0.28 (stat.) \pm 0.30 (sys.)) \times 10-5.

Over at viXra Log Philip E. Gibbs has done a wonderful job to keep us informed with his blog post "Can Neutrinos be Superluminal? Ask OPERA!".
