Harlow's note: LOL!


ROME—Two leaders of the OPERA collaboration, which stunned the world in
September when it announced data suggesting that neutrinos could travel
faster than the speed of light, have stepped down. The resignation of
Antonio Ereditato as spokesperson and Dario Autiero as physics
coordinator of the study followed a vote of no confidence, held
yesterday by leaders of the individual groups within the collaboration,
according to a source at OPERA who asked not to be identified. The vote
came several weeks after it was revealed that the hotly debated result
was probably caused by a faulty cable connection.

OPERA, based at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in central Italy,
measures the properties of neutrinos sent some 730 km through Earth's
crust from the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. The
announcement that it had recorded these neutrinos arriving some 60
nanoseconds earlier than light appeared to violate Einstein's special
theory of relativity. But in February, ScienceNOW reported that the
early arrival time was probably due to a loose connection in a GPS
system used to synchronize timing between the two labs.

Ereditato, who leads a group from the University of Bern, and Autiero,
head of a group at the University of Lyon in France, had been the public
face of the controversial study for the past 6 months, but apparently
colleagues were unhappy about the way they had handled the results.
Specifically, there was discontent about Ereditato's management, says
the source at OPERA, while the opposition to Autiero focused on the
measurement itself.

Some 16 group leaders voted against the pair yesterday, while 13 voted
in their favor and several others abstained, the source says. Although
collaboration rules specify that a two-thirds vote is needed to remove
experiment leaders, the result meant that a majority wanted the pair
gone. Ereditato apparently resigned his post a few minutes after the
result of the ballot was known, whereas Autiero waited until today to
step down. But it's unclear what their positions will now be within the
collaboration.

Some collaboration members believe that the results, when first
announced at a symposium at CERN on 23 September 2011, should have been
presented more clearly as preliminary. They are also unhappy that more
experimental checks weren't carried out before the announcement. "Once
the seminar was done, OPERA should have undertaken a more extensive
campaign of tests before submitting its paper to a journal," says Luca
Stanco, leader of a group from the University of Padova in Italy,
"including the famous cable test. Technical errors can happen to any
collaboration. But we should have been more careful."

The collaboration now has to appoint a new spokesperson, although
exactly when that will happen remains unclear. "I hope it won't affect
the future of the experiment," Stanco says. "It is absolutely essential
that we continue with the scientific program."

Antonio Masiero, vice president of Italy's National Institute of Nuclear
Physics (INFN), which runs the Gran Sasso lab, has released a statement
saying that he hopes the collaboration can "find unity and new
leadership in carrying out its primary specific objective," the
"oscillation" of muon neutrinos produced by CERN into tau neutrinos.

The statement added that "further and definitive" measurements of the
velocity of neutrinos will be carried out by OPERA and three other
experiments at Gran Sasso using a new finely pulsed beam sent from CERN
at the end of April. Two of these experiments—Icarus and LVD—have
recently reported results confirming that neutrinos cannot travel faster
than light.

Neither Ereditato nor Autiero were available for comment today.

They got cahsiered because of a technician's error? While surprising in a
country where the trains definitely do not run on time, it's heartening in
a way. Putting people in charge who lack the knowledge to check the work
of those reporting to them can cause problems. Hey, just look at the U.S.

No. Their true mistake was believing anything can travel
faster that light speed in our universe. When these results
presented, they should have immediately realized that there
was a mistake in their methodology.

If they were fired because they believed experiment trumps theory, then
whomever fired them is an idiot.

And there was nothing wrong with their methodology from what I heard, it
was a lose connection that caused the signal to appear delayed.

If you've never been bit in the butt by crap like that in an experiment,
then you've not done many interesting experiments.

Einstein has been wrong many times; he was wrong about the cosmological
constant, he was wrong when he denounced Father LeMaitre's big bang
theory as "Catholic Science", he was wrong about the EPR paradox...

Actually, he got the cosmological constant thing right, but he didn't
know it was attributable to the repulsion of dark energy.

In other words, he should have known better than to actually publicize
any result that appeared even tentatively in opposition to "official
approved science laws". Science always needs to reenforce politics and
that's why no deviations from approved messages can be tolerated. This
is why AGW deniers are all insane.

I don't know. I'm thinking that denier butts probably smell pretty rank
compared to "official expert" butts. Would be a great way separate those
that need killed from those that need lots of money. I'll bet Wormley's
butt smells just like a daisy.

Absolute bullshit. There are no "official approved science laws", and
scientists would *love* to find evidence that existing theories are wrong.

This is why the researchers were in such a hurry to publish. The reason they
got into trouble is because they didn't do aqequate checking of their
experimental setup before publishing. If other scientists were so slapdash,
then we would have frequent annoucements of incorrect results, and
experiments which "disproved" Einstein would be a weekly event.

As it is, all that the researchers proved is that they couldn't set up their
own equipment properly; they showed themselves merely to be incompetent
experimental scientists and brought their institution (OPERA) into
disrepute.

Indeed, when it was checked, there were two errors found - a cable not
properly connected, and an error is setting up clocks (with opposite
effects). They should have checked their experiment more carefully before
announcing that one of the most fundamental physical laws ever found was
wrong.

Sorry Peter but this is the BIGGEST load of "plausible" bullshit I've
heard in quite some time!

It's all fake from top to bottom which makes me wonder what exactly they
DID find that we are not supposed to know about?

This story only works for anyone who has no idea what a loose cable
does. There was no rush to publish (Like say Pons etc.) and there were
no wild claims of results. One could hardly call some setup error (if
there actually was one) on an experiment of this magnitude to be
"inadequate". That's simply political bullshit. To call this "slapdash"
and bring "disrepute" is nonsense. Cripe. Warmists actually FAKE data,
and CHERRY PICK data, and try to call computer models (that don't
predict things correctly) "PROOF"! Do they get fired? Nay. They get
defended with name calling and assertions that anyone questioning the
fake data is a fraud! But a supposed loose cable in an acre of high-tech
gear is some huge sin?

All I know is I smell politics here really STRONG, and I just wonder
whose butt it's coming from...

Wrong. I know what a loose cable does, and it worked for me.

Yes, there was a rush; they publicised their result before checking their
experimantal srtup.

Yes, there was a wild claim, that of something travelling faster than light.

There setup and controls clearly were inadequate; their experiment produced
false measurements.

No, there is no political aspect to this whatsoever.

It was slapdash by the standards required; at least two errors were found
which completely explained the spurious result and should have been
discovered by the scientists themselves.

And yes, they have brought disrepute onto OPERA; next time they announce
some result researchers will wonder if the equipment has been properly
checked or whether the experiment was just as poorly put together as this
neutrino speed claim. Indeed, the only reason that this caused a stir was
because OPERA was so highly regarded; if somebody nobody had ever heard of
had announced the result then few people would have been interested. They
have brought OPERA's ability to run a straightforward experiment into
disrepute.

Look, their idea that these neutrinos were moving faster than light,
is absurd on it's face. Everything, and I mean *everything* in physics

They didn't "abandon the scientific method". They said they were getting
readings that indicated the neutrinos were moving faster than light.

Eh? The best theory we have says nothing can be accelerated to the speed
of light, setting a "speed limit" for anything that is already moving at
sub-luminal speed. That's all.

Yet as I recall they didn't believe the elusive little critters were
travelling faster than the speed of light. They believed they'd made an
error and were inviting others to help find it.

The hype and BS seems to have come from "science" writers who don't know
science, or how science is done, but do know what buttons to push to get
the casual readers excited.

Still and all, I have to applaud the occasion of any bigwig too ignorant
to check his facility's gear, since as a rule they get to be the boss by
being good at talking to his own bosses, being fired.

Time to fire a few science writers also. Perhaps it will encourage the
others to learn a bit about the subjects about which they write.

Scientifically? Obviously nothing. But unfortunately, HVAC, that is not
the topic under discussion here. The topic is political aspects of
science. In which case Global Warming and politically inspired firings
of neutrino scientists are both quite pertinent.

OK, Class. Did everyone get HVAC's point here? In Science there are
certain accepted FACTS. Evolution is FACT. That there are no UFOs is
FACT. That Einstein's rules of physics are FACT. And if you question any
of these (or any other FACTS that are officially sanctioned) Pretty much
your career will be OVER. HVAC will see to it himself. For more

Facts are data points. Theories are models which use those data points
to make predictions about future data points. Theories are ranked in
order of how thoroughly this predictive process has been carried out.
Einstein's theory is superb. Descent with variation is useful. Quantum
loop gravity is tentative. UFO's exist, I saw one myself that was
later identified as a Soviet first stage booster. But it's very
tentative to identify them as piloted craft from other planets.
Intelligent Design is more tentative than George Bush answering a
question about Saddam's biological weapons while Cheney is drinking a
glass of water.

There are classified programs out there. There is physics that the
government would very much like to keep unpublished. One of my graduate
advisors repeatedly had the government come in and say "we'd prefer that
you not publish that" and since the implied threat is against the entire
universities research funding, you comply.

I mean, the entire atomic bomb thing is "classified", but there are books
articles out there that were published before they became secret. My
undergrad university had a huge library, and we attracted "spies" from
all over the world who would go through and pick out the stuff that was
now "classified" as secret. I asked on spy from Pakistan if he was
looking for atomic bomb secrets. He explained they knew how to make a
atomic bomb, their problem was uranium enrichment. The Pakistan
government sent him to our school SPECIFICALLY to data mine the library.
He got a full scholarship plus a stipend for doing nothing more than
finding old books on enrichment, copying them, and taking them to the
Pakistan consulate.

Another example: I submitted a patent application to my employer and they
rejected it because the design already existed and it was classified -
which is why there was no prior patent on it. :-D As they were under
contract to the government, they were not going to submit it, and neither
could I, since they owned the IP rights as I developed the technology for
them.

There are still things from Project Paper-clip that are secret, and it's
been almost 70 years. What's that about?

The presumption that everything about physics that there is to know is
out there and published is naive and a bad presumption.

Two photons emerge from a beam-splitter in Denver. One of them is
right-hand circular polarized (the electric and magnetic fields twist
360 degrees to the right once per cycle), the other one twists left, but
no one knows which is which. They are allowed to fly apart down
separate fiber optic cables, one to Richland, Washington, the other to
Oak Ridge, Tennesee. In Richland, the photon is measured to have a
left-hand polarization. This observation instantly (faster than is
possible by the speed limit c) causes the wavefunction of the photon in
the national laboratory in Tennessee to resolve as a Southpaw.

Action at a distance.

Not only have the experiments been done, but it has commercial
applications in the field of cryptography. A third party taps into the
data stream, it messes up the transfer. At a distance, faster than light.

There are currently four companies offering commercial quantum key
distribution systems; id Quantique (Geneva), MagiQ Technologies (New

That Einstein is wrong there isn't any doupt, But to see why is the
speed of light considered as maximal for all motions including and the
matterial bodies can be seen from the following comparitions about
what give the LT and GT:
If we try to do a comparison between the formulas of the speeds in
both transformations will find the same a strange situation.
For GT, from the relations (6) and (7) we obtain:
For v2=c, results: v1=v+c (13).
For v=c, results: v1=c+v2 (14).
For v=c, results: v2=v1-c (15).
For v1=c, results v2=c-v (16)

The same calculus we can do for the LT using the relations (8) and
(9).
For v2=c, results: v1=(c+v)/(1+c.v/c^2)=c (13’).
For v=c, results: v1=(c+v2)/(1+c.v2/c^2)=c (14’).
For v=c, results: v2=(v1-c)/(1-c.v1/c^2)=-c (15’).
For v1=c, results: v2=(c-v)/(1-v.c/c^2)=c (16’).

c is a universal constant. Its value can be established quite accurately in

Light moves at c wrt its source and c+v wrt an observer approacjing at v.

Pathetic is right. What does faster than light mean? Does it mean that
nothing can achieve a velocity along it's path that is faster than
light? If so, that could be true. But what about "apparent" velocities
faster than light? Let us assume as required by the bogus big bang that
the universe has another dimension. In other words is a hypersphere (so
that the "center" of the universe is in ALL locations). Under this
hypothesis it is possible to "warp" space or space-time such that a
"shortcut" path exists through the extra dimension. In such a case
experiments would seem to be measuring speeds faster than light but only
because they were not accounting for the "shortcut" path.

However since you are saying that it's "impossible" for anything to
travel faster light, I would once again point out that saying something
is "impossible" is the mathematical equivalent of saying "I'm a moron"!

(Although in fairness to you, I did notice that in essence you were sort
of saying you "believe" it impossible rather than saying it actually WAS
impossible.)

The way I word it is, "Nothing can travel faster than light in
our universe'. Can space itself move faster than light?
There is nothing theoretically to prevent it.

Completely disagree. For instance, it is *impossible* for 4 to be
a prime number in base ten mathematics.

Anyone that disagrees is a moron.

No.....TWLS measurements get c because it uses the redefined meter:
1 meter=1/299,792,458 light-second. As you can see this redefinition
of the meter guarantees the speed of light is c....all they needed to
do is to measure the return time to get c. Actual measurement of TWLS
using physically measured distances never been performed.

OWLS cannot use this redefinition of the meter because one needs two
absolutely synched clocks to measure OWLS. So they declared that OWLS
is c because both TWLS and OWLS speed are isotropic.

Well that's somewhat correct but the early TWLS experiments did use
physically defined lengths. From those experiments came an official figure
for c. More recently the length standard was were redefined in terms of that
etablished standard purely for simplicity.

However in your outdated aether theory, TWLS does not equal OWLS or c unless
the apparatus is at rest in the absolute aether.

In actual fact, it is easy to perform OWLS experiments with two presynched
clocks.
There is no aether and the whole of Einstein's theory is crap.

I must point out again, Hanson old buddy, 'c' IS a universal constant.

Generally speaking, it is not 'light speed' except in as far as light
apparently moves at c wrt its source.

Like all speeds, that of Light must be frame dependent by definition....
and therefore moves at c+v wrt a moving observer.

Incidentally, is it true that some of your ancestors used to wander the
Sahara looking for gold or lost camels?

The initial photon (that doesn't actually move), is created faster at

propagation is what seems to remain as limited to using the rate of c.

HAHAHAHHHAHHHAHHAHA!

Let's derive Einstein's velocity addition equation as it applies to light;

According to P2, light always moves at c.

Therefore w=c, where c is its speed in one frame and w is its speed in
another moving at v wrt the first.
Therefore, w = c(c+v)/(c+v) = (c+v)/(1+cv/c^2).....HAHAHHAHHAHA!

What does that kind of circular logic prove?

Until somebody actually measures the OW speed of EM of different energies, I
will keep an open mind.
However as one of Andro's galaxy snapshots revealed, its Xray image appears
to have been emitted at a very different time from its visible image.

You are just preaching Einsteinian dogma...

Accspt the facts...Nobody has accurately measured the OWLS of EM with vastly
different wavelengths.

I will agree that experiments must be performed in a one-way fashion-
but I also agree that we have been unconsciously performing a one-way
measure for thousands of years- its just that we have not created a
reference frame which is accurate and which can measure the quantities
of c- relative a distance to c's speed- a length measure.

We haven't been able to make the length measure. That's why we have
the hypothetical example of length contraction.

A OWLS measure is a tricky venture- for it demands that the near point
and the far point are synchronized.

That's true, which puts my swag on the same level as Einstein, because
he didn't seem to know either.

I'm not at all sure about that. Why can't the beginning and end of an
individual IR photon wave be measured, and thus timed?

I was just watching a TV show on the Huyghens probe to Titan, which
as you may know was successful. However, the data arrived SIX
MINUTES later than expected. It was ignored, other than it added
some drama to the program. No explanation was given, everyone
was excited that it arrived at all.
The problem with Huyghens was power, the Cassini craft has a
plutonium source because a solar panel would not work that far
from the Sun, but Huyghens only had a battery so it had to transmit
to Cassini which relayed the data to Earth, and Cassini's speed
meant there was Doppler shift between Cassini orbiting Saturn
and Huyghens landing on Titan. This meant Cassini had to
store the data from Huyghens when it had zero Doppler shift and
transmit it to Earth when it was in position to do so. What we do
not know is whether Cassini was receding or approaching Earth
when it did so. Without more data one can only conjecture whether
the six minute delay was a computational error, a c+v effect, a
c_microwave effect or some combination of the above.

Light propagates at c but can and does move far slower.
So it doesn't always travel at c.

No in my theory the value TWLS or OWLS are distance dependent but both
are istropic. TWLS can use the redefined meter to measure distance but
OWLS cannot. That's why SRians refuse to measure OWLS directly.

Light propagates at c but can and does move far slower.
So it doesn't always travel at c.

============================================================

Light *always* propagates at C, Dumbo. It sometimes appears to move slower
because it is constantly being absorbed and re-emitted by atoms, but when it
moves, it moves at C. So far as I can tell, there is only *one* phenomenon
in this universe that allows controlled superluminal propagation, and I
discovered it 3 decades ago, and that's it. This doesn't speak very highly
of the spirit of discovery of the human race...

Interesting. Let's see. The distance is about 1.3E9 km. Light takes
about 4E3 second to get here.....67 minutes. So Cassini would have to
be moving at about 0.9c wrt us for a six minute error to occur due to c
+v.
Are you sure it wasn't 6 SECONDS late?

Light propagates at c or thereabouts wrt its source.

That speed is frame dependent.
