Officially reject particles faster than light

The Center for European Nuclear Reaction Research (CERN) has officially rejected the neutrino information faster than the light obtained during the OPERA experiment at a press conference that took place in mid-last week.

At the press conference, Mr. Sergio Bertolucci, CERN director, spoke about his report read at the recent neutrino physics and astrophysics conference in Kyoto.

According to him, the data on speed faster than light is due to technical errors when experimentally discovered by four groups of scientists. That is the ' peer ' group of OPERA - Borexino, the IRACUS group and the LVD group. All four groups measured the retention time of the neutrino beam.

Sergio Bertolucci, CERN director announced
Believing neutrinos faster than light is a mistake.

"We have been able to convincingly prove the correctness of scientific methods - unexpected results must be exposed to social judgment and they have been completely rejected ," Bertolucci declared. dad.

The first information recorded neutrinos moving at a faster rate than light appeared on September 23, 2011. At that time, it was shown that the results of neutrino beams traveling from CERN to Gran-Sasso averaged faster than theoretical calculations of 60 nanoseconds. Thus, neutrinos have moved faster than the speed of 1,002,00248 times.

During the next few months, a large number of different explanations were given both theoretically and experimentally. It turns out that the mistake is just the bad contact of the cable. This hasty announcement led to the resignation of Professor Antonio Ereditato, OPERA project manager and scientist Dario Autiero, but who directly measured and produced the results.

At the press conference, Bertolucci also proposed to close the issue of neutrinos faster than the light in front of Physics.
