I’m Shocked! Shocked! to Find There Are Neutrinos Going On Here
[E]xperimental physics is (and has always been) very, very hard to do, involving an effort to push the limits of precision beyond any current standard. Because the effects sought are at the limits of our capacity to detect them (necessarily; if it were easy, we’d have seen whatever it was already) there is an enormous amount of subtle knowledge that goes into constructing the framework of each experiment. The machines don’t just have to work; you have to understand in detail how quantum mechanics and relativity and all the increasingly subtle applications of the broad ideas play out at the speeds and energies and distances involved. Understanding what’s actually happening at the subtle edges of experiments — even seemingly simply ones — turns out to be very difficult to do.
Modern physics cannot separate crapola from Shinola. Impossible claims are supported by elegantly irrelevant maths rendered carefully immune to empirical testing. All outputs are “needs more study.”
The Shroud of Turin is a facial ellipsoid projected upon Euclidean plane fabric without distortion, cuts, or folds. Riiight. Physics has the Higgs boson; SUSY partners, proton decay, solar axions; quantum gravitation and string theory, dark matter versus MOND Milgrom acceleration, matter-antimatter abundance… and now the FTL neutrino. Riiight.
To criticize is to volunteer. The physics of massless spin-0 photons tests space, sourcing the physics of fermionic mass. This is necessary but not sufficient.

Equation (1): “the torsion tensor vanishes outside material bodies where the spin density is zero.”
Bulk massed fermions composed of chiral light quarks must be tested. Test spacetime geometry with compact atomic mass distribution geometry. If the vacuum is a trace left foot toward mass, then opposite shoes fit with slightly different energies. If fitted opposite shoes are melted into identical socks, their transition energies diverge (calorimetry). If fitted opposite shoes vacuum free fall, their minimum action trajectories diverge and the Equivalence Principle is violated.
Crystallography provides mathematically perfect opposite shoes as 11 pairs of enantiomorphic space groups of 230 space groups total. The universe might be phantasmagoria of epicycles, or a simple alternative,

Two geometric parity Eötvös experiments. Difference/average detection of EP violation.
You can make a Shroud of Turin with your kitchen oven, complete in every detail. The artifact not a miracle, it is a fraud – by reproducible trivial demonstration. Faith is not enough. Somebody must look.
