ho .. ho..
Speed-of-light experiments yield baffling result at LHC Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light. Neutrinos sent through the ground from Cern toward the Gran Sasso laboratory 732km away seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early. A report will soon be online to draw closer scrutiny to a result that, if true, would upend a century of physics..... |

A report will soon be online to draw closer scrutiny to a result that, if true, would upend a century of physics..... I get this warm and fuzzy feeling every time that the universe shows to us once again that up is down, black is white, right is left, and day is night. ![]() |

Yes , we must keep an eye on their website, and in the meantime
Some reading CERN has a GormleyAs I was walking up the stairs, I saw a knot of tangled hair and Higgs boson signals fade at Large Hadron ColliderCern Cern scientist says he sees 'no striking evidence of anything that could resemble a discovery' in hunt for Higgs boson |

![]() Particle faster than the speed of light measured... and could change science as Einstein knew it CERN claims neutrinos went faster than the cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) A neutrino beam fired from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 454 miles away in Italy traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light By Associated Press Last updated at 10:04 PM on 22nd September 2011 Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/articl...t-CERN.html#ixzz1YjHBmfEz The Large Hadron Collider produces unprecedented amounts of data per day and requires vast improvements in data measurements, data handling and data analysis. I suspect we should give them a few years to practice without peering too closely over their shoulder. ![]() ![]() Lawrence Added: 22 Sep 2011 The Register 'CERN's boson hunters tackle big data bug infestation' : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/22/cern_coverity/ [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 23, 2011 5:02:40 PM] |

Cern Science
subatomic venture “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” These were the words of the famous physicist Albert Einstein, who went on to say that "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." If you venture into the subatomic world in an attempt to unveil its inner workings, possession of all the knowledge in the world is not enough. Instead, invite your imagination to serve as a guide, because many rules as we know them no longer apply. Just like the story of Alice In Wonderland, this new world may look familiar but it is not fully comprehensible. Scales shift and matter transforms. Transitory twins appear and extra dimensions hide. Nature has the ability to throw us the biggest surprises, so expect dramatic twists and unexpected turns; many before you have dreamed up mind–blowing theories and crazy concepts. Some of these have prevailed against the tests of time and armies of knowledgeable critics – thus far. Someone, sometime, somewhere, may succeed in completing these unfinished mysteries, or even rewrite the chapters entirely. The book is by no means finished. |

New Tests Appear To Confirm Claim That Neutrinos Traveled Faster Than Light The OPERA collaborative in Italy, which stunned the physics community in September by claiming they had detected neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light, has completed a second run of tests in the hopes of reducing the uncertainty of the result. They have submitted their findings for peer review, but the group has stated that they have confirmed their earlier result, and again detected neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light. In the original experiment, the neutrinos sent from CERN to the OPERA detector were created by proton collisions in relatively long pulses – 10,500 nanoseconds long. As a result, the OPERA team had to do a statistical analysis to determine the time it took the neutrinos to travel from CERN to the OPERA detector. In the new experiments, the pulses were delivered in 1-2 nanosecond intervals, which were spaced apart by over 500 nanoseconds. The goal of that experimental change was to ensure that separate neutrino events could be attributed to separate proton collisions at CERN... |

Excitement as Higgs boson seminar set to announce latest LHC findings
Two teams at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will go public with their latest results in the search for the Higgs The runup to Christmas looks exciting for the Large Hadron Collider at Cern near Geneva. Staff at the laboratory have arranged a special seminar on Tuesday 13 December at which the latest results in the search for the Higgs boson will be made public. The presentation is due to happen directly after the lab's scientific policy committee has convened one of its regular meetings behind closed doors. So what can we expect to hear? The two main groups that hunt the Higgs boson, the Atlas and CMS detector collaborations, will describe their results separately, unlike the recent combined figures put out this month in Paris. There has been too little time to merge the most up-to-date results from both experiments... |

The excitement hit the Mass media today... CERN being on the Higgs-Boson trail [which got an ambiguous designator in Dan's Brown's Angels and Daemons book]. Why they chose the 13th as the day of announcement...

First info, post press conference... glimpses of Higgs at the anticipated 124-125 GeV (Giga Electon Volt)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16158374 The simple fact that both Atlas and CMS seem to be seeing a data spike at the same mass has been enough to cause enormous excitement in the particle physics community. Let's hope this is not a ''faster than light'' neutrino racket which defies all logic... shooting particles through 733 of stretchable earth crust would slow them down, not let them run faster. Swiss goes heaves and descends by a foot which is why they continually need to correct over at CERN for the photon beam to go round perfectly. --//-- |
