The curious part of the OPERA observation is that MINOS at Fermilab should have the data to confirm or refute the claim. I'm waiting to see the official paper to see why one might see it but not the other.
makes sense...I was thinking, "Certainly these guys arent the first to measure the speed of neutrinos, are they?!"
at least they are being skeptical of their results and asking for their peers to check their data...otherwise this could end up being another cold fusion fiasco
We may have to be patient. MINOS has a measurement from 2007, but lacks the necessary accuracy. They are upgrading to increase precision, but corroborating results won't be available until next year.
