Beyond Light Speed: A Tenet Nosce suggestion

[CarlS]

Here are the 2 quotes I liked about your linked article:

"Neutrinos sent through the ground from Cern toward the Gran Sasso laboratory 732km away seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early."

And...

"But for now, he explained, "we are not claiming things, we want just to be helped by the community in understanding our crazy result - because it is crazy"."


Now as a registered crazy person (been admitted to the hospital for thinking like a smarty pants) the answer is simple in it's complication.


Since Neutrino's are capable of changing to other types and the fact they are sending these particles into the Earth the said Neutrino's are then not traveling at the speed of light. They, being capable of changing, begin to travel at the speed of dark which takes many times longer but comes with the added bonus of arriving a tiny bit earlier so they can explain themselves to the masses. Of course the path they travel and the places they go will change them in the process, the stories they come back with will surely amuse those with an open mind.


There was a nice picture of Einstein in the article. One of his quotes I enjoy is "Imagination is more important than knowledge."


If your mind is open to the travels of the Neutrinos then they may jump in as a Neuron into you, take you for a ride down the rabbit hole and leave you seeing tracers, sparkles and pitch blackness in the process. Or just scramble your entire concept of relativity and changes your perception of life to the point of not caring because if you do people will call you crazy.
