P.I. Chats: Faster-than-light neutrinos?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Measurements by GPS confirm that the neutrinos identified by the Super-Kamiokande detector were indeed produced on the east coast of Japan. The physicists therefore estimate that the results obtained point to a 99.3% probability that electron neutrino appearance was detected.Neutrino … Continue reading →
