Speed-of-light experiments give baffling result at Cern

September 22, 2011 at 6:42 pm (This post was last modified: September 22, 2011 at 6:43 pm by little_monkey.)

Quote:Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light.

Is that an experimental error in calibration?

Should the results be confirmed, what does it mean?

One possibility is to look at the Lorentz transformations equations,

or

we have a problem with causality

or

we've been fooled into thinking all those years that Relativity is the correct theory to describe the universe at large scale.

or

some new physics in the making involved a concept unknown up to now.

Thoughts?
