Professor Marcus du Sautoy offered a rather sobering view of the results of OPERA on the BBC last night. The BBC iPlayer version is available to view\u00a0 until the 31st October, follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Until now I have resisted posting anything about the superluminal speed of neutrinos as measured by OPERA. There are plenty of blogs about this.\u00a0 All I really want to say is that Marcus du Sautoy does a great job in approaching the topic from a science\/maths point of view and does not “fan the flames” of the media hype.\u00a0 His programme, in my opinion combats some of the hysteria and plain rubbish out there.<\/p>\n

Please take the time to watch it.<\/p>\n
