Matthew Tam on 19 Oct 11Remember those faster-than-light neutrinos? Great, now forget 'em. "A week ago the world went wild over CERN's tentative claim that it could make neutrinos travel faster than light." Now however a team of scientists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have come up with an explanation on why neutrinos are not faster than light. The GPS satellites used to measure the departure and arrival times of the racing neutrinos were themselves subject to Einsteinian effects, because they were in motion relative to the experiment. Thus if the error was recalculated the error would have been by 64 nanoseconds, the number neutrinos supposed to beat photons by.
