The simple explanation is there may have been a simple mistake somewhere... but... and there is a but, the fact the scientists in question have thrown open their work for everyone to scrutinise says an awful lot. <br /><br />Certainly if this turns out to be true, it's a huge discovery that will overturn many years of our understanding of the laws physics. Certainly it has those who believe in parallel realities rubbing their hands with glee... this could well be the smoking gun that they've been waiting for. <br /><br />As for me I'd love the findings to be true... because the implications will just be astonishing and will revolutionise everything! <br /><br />NickNick Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533479096188610743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328938478149771357.post-23955185096803832902011-11-15T05:24:33.441-08:002011-11-15T05:24:33.441-08:00I saw a fascinating documentary about neutrinos th...I saw a fascinating documentary about neutrinos the other day... Some had arrived earlier than predicted between Cerne and an Italian monitoring station the other side of a mountain. This could mean they traveled faster than the speed of light - shock! The poor scientist was trying to dumb it down for us non-physicists and explain how it might have happened. Apparently our universe is like a slice in a loaf of ready sliced bread - other universes are the other slices. Speed of light is the limit for everything on our slice - but neutrinos can get off our slice and into the gaps between the slices and somehow travel much faster before coming back into our slice. So neutrinos from future events could arrive before the event itself - and its possible that animals (and even humans) can sometimes be aware of this (earthquakes, Tsunamis etc?) - could this be intuition about impending events, fortune telling etc??! If only I understood it more I'm sure it could be a great basis for a new supernatural/sci fi novel!! <br /><br />The other theory about the neutrinos arriving early, not as romantic and wild is that the mathematicians got it wrong or they measured the wrong thing.<br /><br />Which do you think is right?<br /><br />EmmaEmma Calinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661631701340292529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328938478149771357.post-69359924559533707402011-11-09T10:41:14.569-08:002011-11-09T10:41:14.569-08:00This makes all of us creators then!This makes all of us creators then!gwen bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964300623711562254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328938478149771357.post-50179659109220843422011-08-03T09:57:20.432-07:002011-08-03T09:57:20.432-07:00And don't get me started on Schrodinger and hi...And don't get me started on Schrodinger and his poor cat! ;o)Nick Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533479096188610743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328938478149771357.post-61614241037056407512011-08-03T09:50:30.509-07:002011-08-03T09:50:30.509-07:00Who knows what trees do in the woods when no one&#...Who knows what trees do in the woods when no one's looking?
