Contested 'faster-than-light' experiment yields same resultsParis (AFP) Nov 18, 2011 A fiercely contested experiment that appears to show the accepted speed limit of the Universe can be broken has yielded the same results in a re-run, European physicists said on Friday. But counterparts in the United States said the experiment still did not resolve doubts and the Europeans themselves acknowledged this was not the end of the story. On September 23, the European team issued a massive challenge to fundamental physics by saying they had measured particles called neutrinos which ... read more |
