Re: OMG NEUTRINOS
For those who, like me, were initially confused by this post:
Neutrinos may have traveled faster than light at CERN
Re: OMG NEUTRINOS
Repeat after me.
One experimental result does not settled science make.
One experimental result does not settled science make.
One experimental result does not settled science make.
But that would be pretty amazing. I guess we'll find out in a couple years. Maybe.

1600 results over 3 years, according to the paper I read.
correction: 16,000

Re: OMG NEUTRINOS
It's more about an independent research team crunching the numbers and verifying the experiments. Obviously they can't replicate this anywhere else, so a team will probably come in to check calibration on every moving part in the facility, observe all aspects of repeated experiments, etc., not to mention redo the math from the data they already have.
There's a million ways they could get consistent false positives, and only one way they'd get a positive positive, and it's all unlikely and stuff. Neutrinos and shit. I don't know.
Stupid science and their dependency on replicable results. I SAW A JACK RABBIT WITH A WOMAN'S FACE

Re: OMG NEUTRINOS
Yeah, it's more a matter of the first team saying, "Look, this is what we think is happening and we did all this things that prove it!" And somebody else has to come in and say, "Yeah, but did you try these things that would DISPROVE it and see what happened?"
Not saying the researchers necessarily did this, but such is the process of science.
