Tunnelling through a brick wall wouldn't actually violate any known law of physics, it's just sufficiently improbable according to those laws that if we ever observed it, we'd consider it more likely that our theories have to be amended than that we just have observed such an unlikely event. The lowest-energy neutrinos weve ever detected have so much energy that their speed must be, at minimum, 99.99999999995% the speed of light, which means that they can move no slower than 299,792,457.99985 meters-per-second.

What one would need to explain is why hadrons and non-neutrino leptons experience exactly the same "braking" effekt as photons do. The author is only clarifying that the GPS community doesn't need to read his paper, because it has no impact GPS best-practices, since the issue of precise time-of-flight is not relevant for most GPS uses. VideoOn board the worlds last surviving turntable ferry, I didnt think make-up was made for black girls, Why there is serious money in kitchen fumes. This image shows multiple events, and is part of the suite of experiments paving our way to a greater understanding of neutrinos. A question of physics should be repeatedly be confirmed before a postulate or an inference can be derived. Neutrinos seen to fly faster than light - Science News Even after that derivation a sensitive experiment should be perceived to break it through further. When to average in the lab for indirect measurements? Nothing can accelerate to any faster speed. Next year, teams working on two other experiments at Gran Sasso experiments - Borexino and Icarus - will begin independent cross-checks of Opera's results. It looks like they took an insane amount of care with their measurement of distance and time. it is unlikely that the neutrinos go superluminal or SR is not holding true anymore, it is unlikely that the distance is measured incorreclty, it is unlikely that the GPS setup/usage is incorrect.
