Faster than light neutrino errors revealed
The OPERA experimental team at CERN have announced that problems with the stability of the timing equipment have been found.
As predicted, it comes with none of the media attention given to the original publication of the faster than light result.

Disappointing - was hoping for some new insights not as dramatic as the breaking of the speed of light but perhaps something interesting none the less.
Unfortunately the reports will probably be along the lines of "Boffins screw loose" or something like that so the smaller the better!
Ah well onwards and upwards the Higgs question will be solved one way or another this year

So, Does this mean that we will not be able to time travel? I really never did know why it was so important to move faster than light speed. what would it have meant if the particle did go faster? would it just be another mathmatical problem to sort, or would it have a real impact on the world as we know it? what possible new inventions could arise?
Finding something traveling faster than the speed of light would have radically unraveled our understanding of the structure of SpaceTime as we have known it for a century.
It would need more than maths to sort it because the maths just provides the quantative description of the underlying physical properties which need to make some kind of sense. Maths without that is just a curiosity.

If Einstein was wrong, will rockets stop flying and will the international space station fall to the ground, and will Hiroshima rebuild itself? or is this a different equation? I must admit there are people out there with brains a million times better than mine, I worked with a marine biologist who's brain was in a different world to mine, and I do accept there are some brilliant people out there, but is it possible that some may be trying to gain fame and fortune by using trillions of dollars to prove someone wrong? will cern cure cancer or bring peace to the world,stop religious wars, or just tell us that they can send a particle through the most expensive tunnel in the universe as fast as light, which is pretty much what I can do with a light switch. please don't reply and baffle me with science, I asking this on behalf of the man in the street to whom quantum maths/science means nothing and who probably evolved from an ape, not an alien from a distant planet.
are you sure? This actually came out last month, and Google reveals hundreds of news stories about it
