CERN is in the news again.
Last month it was its confirmation that cosmic rays affect weather in ways inconvenient to climate models.
This month, CERN may have found something that goes faster than light.
Neutrinos sent through the ground from Cern toward the Gran Sasso laboratory 732km away in Italy seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early.
Prior to the CERN neutrino, it was believed that the fastest object on Earth was ecotardium, an unbelievably dense element found only in the extreme gravitational flux of Al Gore’s credibility implosion. But I digress.
For CERN, challenging one of the long-standing pillars of physics as defined by Einstein’s theory of relativity is no small task. So how did they handle the problem? Like scientists:
…the group says it is being very cautious about its claims. They will be discussing the result in detail in a conference at Cern on Friday afternoon, which can be viewed online. “We tried to find all possible explanations for this,” said report author Antonio Ereditato of the Opera collaboration. “We wanted to find a mistake - trivial mistakes, more complicated mistakes, or nasty effects - and we didn’t,” he told BBC News. “When you don’t find anything, then you say ‘Well, now I’m forced to go out and ask the community to scrutinise this.’”
CERN checked its own work, found no errors and then made its findings and data available to the scientific community to see if they can either replicate the result and rock the world of physics to its core, or prove them wrong.
If CERN is right, warmists are about to have a very big problem with their ‘scientific consensus’ defense. If E does not equal MC², what chance do shaky climate models stand?
Be grateful Phil Jones and the Motley CRU have nothing to do with it. The MO of climate scientists is to deny data to the wider community so it cannot be challenged. If Jones, Mann or Hansen had come across a model-busting neutrino, do you think they’d act as CERN did? Yeah, me either. That neutrino would be denounced as a denier particle and pal-reviewed out of existence.
CERN may yet be wrong about the speed of its neutrino, but even if they are, they are scientific giants compared to the closeted group of grubby rent-seekers running climate ‘science’.
Of course “the speed of light” is not the fastest speed. Ask any Trekie about Warp speed.
These people at CERN are obvious “particle denialists” and they must be in the pay of the neutrino production industry. Everyone knows that the scientific consensus says no particle can travel faster than light. The scientists at CERN are only a fringe element of “bloggers” who are trying to sow doubt in the community. They are the same so-called scientists used by the tabacco industry in the seventies who have now moved on to spreading doubt in the field of high energy physics. If you want to know the truth just read the peer reviewd literature.
Welcome back, DB.
The work of Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman that got him the Nobel prize in 1930 may also shed some light( fast light) on this same subject. for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him”[36]
