Four different neutrino experiments are at work in the massive underground laboratory at Gran Sasso

An experiment to repeat a test of the speed of subatomic particles known as neutrinos has found that they do not travel faster than light.

Results announced in September suggested that neutrinos can exceed light speed, but were met with scepticism as that would upend Einstein's theory of relativity.

A test run by a different group at the same laboratory has now clocked them travelling at precisely light speed.

The results HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE

Not much of a surprise since the first results would have been nullified by an error of a few meters as measured through 723 Km through rock. In CERN's defense though they admitted recently that the results were wrong due to a loose optical cable.Glad to see that someone verified that...

Love it!
That would be 300,000km/s for us here in Oz

I figured as much when they posted their results the first time.

I kind of wished they had of waited posting their results until they had done several tests to ensure accuracy, but sadly they posted on the spot and all of the corn ball creationists and conspiracy theorists and assorted nuts jumped all over the initial findings.

30 years from now we will still be hearing about how the hadron proved that the speed of light boundary can be broken

What I really can't figure is if those CT morons (not to mention creationists) did any reading into the why c is the "speed limit" and what actually happens as an object like a neutron approaches light speed. They would have never fell into this and made themselves look really dumb. When a neutron approaches light speed (as in a collapsing star) we end up getting a neutron star due to neutron degeneracy pressure. Same thing happens when electrons get too close to light speed. The only way this is avoided is when an object is to extremely massive (for electron degeneracy, 1.44 solar masses is the minimum. For neutrons, it is in the range of 1.5-3 solar masses). Guess there could be other types of degenerate matter like quark degeneracy (never been observed), CTist brain degeneracy and fundamentalist degeneracy (both seen fairly often). As far as the last two, in large conglomerations maybe they would go supernova, it is a hope of mine

T'is true. They don't only cherry pick their fucking bible.
