CERN's New "Information for World Transformation" ? from Huping Hu's blog

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!".

Maybe what's being transferred faster the speed of light is the neutrino's state, which wouldn't be the same as information, and wouldn't be a violation of Relativity Theory.

Similar to what happened during the first miliseconds of the Big Bang, where, according Alan Guth, light appears to have traveled a distance of 300 light years.

Thanks to the Aether, state, not information, instantaneously spreads throughout the Universe. This would also explain all EPR phenomena.

Finally, someone offering a good explanation for instantaneous force transfers. I said - "State, not information, is instantaneously registered throughout space." He says - "Interactions, not forces, are instantaneously transferred through space." As I said, at the Aether scale there are no distances to cover, it is everywhere.

[physics/0612019] A Hamiltonian approach to quantum gravity

Huping Hu Sep 23 '11

I agree with you that ether (aether) as the body of prespacetime is non-spatial and non-temporal, see, e.g., http://cogprints.org/4581/ Indeed, there is experimental evidence that gravity is instantaneous force (manifestation of quantum entanglement mediated by prespacetime), see, e.g., http://neuroquantology.com/...nal/article/view/126 and http://ptep-online.com/index_files/2007/PP-09-03.PDF

If OPERA results are real, we are dealing with a finite speed of neutrino which is greater than the speed of light.
