Now lets see if anyone can reproduce the result. Like someone said: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. |

If i understood the science guy on the BBC correctly, it's unlikely to be replicated elsewhere anytime soon because of the facilities needed. But they've done it 15,000 times over several years, so it's not exactly a freak result. |

They've detected neutrinos going faster than light 15000 times, or they have run the experiment 15000 times without getting this result? |

Here's the paper for those who like to dig deeper:

EDIT: I've answered my own question. The measured neutrino velocity is the average of about 16000 observations over the last 3 years.
Despite the large significance of the measurement reported here and the stability of the
analysis, the potentially great impact of the result motivates the continuation of our studies in
order to investigate possible still unknown systematic effects that could explain the observed
anomaly. We deliberately do not attempt any theoretical or phenomenological interpretation of
the results. |

@Torellion - I missed the introduction and wasn't wearing glasses, but I always figured Sagan was older. This guy looked about 40. |
