CERN registered particles moving faster than the speed of light.
The news looks like another bike of the yellow media, if you believe that, literally every day, scientists find refutations of all existing scientific theories and laws of physics. I didn’t believe this news, however, I was thoroughly googling, I took the liberty to report it on Habré.
CERN spokesman James Gillies reported that in an experiment conducted as part of the OPERA ( Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Tracking Apparatus ) project, a neutrino beam sent from CERN to the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy at a distance of 732 km , was registered at the destination for 60 nanoseconds earlier than the estimated time, which indicates that the particles moved faster than the speed of light. Scientists, of course, decided that the imperfect conditions of the experiment were to blame, and repeated the experiment about 15,000 times, carefully controlling all parameters, but the result remained unchanged.
I think habravchanam no need to explain how this effect will have if the results are confirmed again. “Most of us have a sense of being wrong, it just can't be real,” Gillis said. Stephen Park ( Stephen Parke ), head of the department of theoretical physics in the Fermi laboratory, is also at a loss: “This is a real shock. If this is true, then do not hesitate - we will face big problems. ” Incidentally, similar results were already obtained at the Fermi laboratory in 2007, but too much measurement error did not allow the experiment to be credible at that time.

While it is alarming that, despite the publication in such major resources as the BBC , Reuters and the Associated Press , at the time of writing the topic on the sites CERN and the project OPERA there are no publications on this issue. The only thing that was found was the announcement of the seminar at CERN "New results from OPERA on neutrino properties" , which will be held on September 23, that is, today. On the other hand, all the names and surnames listed in the publications are reliable, which distinguishes the news from the famous “British scientists”.
UPD: It turned out there is a link to the official document from the researchers (thanks to the habraiser Shapelez ).
