Would Neutrinos travelling faster-than-light account for the odd emissions observed from the SN 1987A supernova where the subatomic particles reached Earth three hours before visible light did?
Particles in physics are so darn complicated to me...
I was under the impression that neutrinos passing through the solar mantle would encounter far less absorption and re-emission (read as 'none') than photons would, allowing for the apparent delay of detectable light with respect to detection of the neutrinos.
