Quote:The team which found that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and confirmed the result.

If confirmed by other experiments, the find could undermine one of the basic principles of modern physics.

I guess the critics of CERN's handling of the experiment just got silenced.

The conformations aren't independent, they were done by the same people with the same equipment and assumptions about distance among other things, this hasn't done a thing to remove any of the technical concerns that keep people sceptical of the result.

There is a much more pressing reason NOT to believe this finding, that being the energy of the Neutrinos are not what would be expected for a particle with the energy necessary to travel faster than the speed of light - the energy of the neutrinos is consistent with the energy of a particle accelerated to fractionally less than the speed of light - These are reasons with much more solid foundations than a situation involving estimated distances and synchronized clocks (Which is extremely problematic).
