EVE General Discussion

Yes, Einstein's real name was mr. Wong..
Also take a look in Out of Pod Section for 2 more threads on this.

Well if that's true it just raises bigger questions: HOW does this particle move so fast?

It's Minmatar-made.

Neutrinos are bizarre particles, period. I've typed about a dozen paragraphs explaining why and then deleted them for they are way beyond the discussion level here, so let me explain it as simply as I can:

Neutrinos are always "left-handed", which only makes sense if they are mass-less. (What it means is their spin is pointing in a direction opposite their motion, which you should be able to eventually go faster than one, and therefore see it as moving backwards and hence "right-handed".) Since we never see the "right handed" neutrinos, we thought they must be going the speed of light, and therefore massless.

Neutrinos from the sun (solar neutrinos) were measured and were found to be in the wrong proportion given our knowledge of the nuclear processes happening within (which we know quite well). We then realized they were changing from one type of neutrino to another type, something ONLY possible if they have mass.

So we believe they have a very SMALL mass, but we really don't know for sure.

Now they seem to be able to move faster than light ( I think it's bunkam) which is a strange ******* cosmic coincidence that its speed is so close to that of light. I suspect we'll see that they computed the geodesic path wrong, as they neglected general relativity here, but we'll see.

It's red of course. Red ones go Fastah!

perhaps because light has to travel threw things such as atoms which could restrict is max speed i.e how gravity bends light... but neutrinos are chemically nuetral so perhaps they dont interact with atoms (unless it happens to hit the nuclii) then there is no restriction so perhaps if you take gravity out of the equation there are no restrictions on max speed...

Just wait untill next year when they make a higs bosom... imagine erecting a em field around a space ship that puts it in a buble where its not affected by gravity... it could literally slip threw space/time like a bubble in your soda can...

You know....it would be frikken AWESOME if his theory was proven wrong, even if partially.
Can you imagine ? Physics as we know it would have to be re-written, for the most part.

Whatever the outcome, it's all very exciting to me.

That's generally the conversation I have with people who read/learned about some stuff but lack the actual capacity to use that information.

They go "it's like this and that" where I'll reply with "no that's a theory, the chances of that theory actually being correct based on the tiny amount of the universe we've explored is quite small", leaves them bewildered. Really the worst thing for science is to not question what others have found. History is full of "facts" that later had to be amended to allow for this annoying thing called "reality" but somehow people who spout these "truths" and "facts" never really seemed to have learned that history lesson.

No, the question is: HOW could they see that, if there was no light!
