MINOS reports new measurement of neutrino velocity

[T]he new MINOS study significantly reduces the systematic errors of its earlier work with detailed measurements of the behavior of the experiment’s GPS timing system, improved understanding of the delays of electronic components at every stage of the MINOS detectors and the use of upgraded timing equipment, designed and implemented with the assistance of the National Institute of Science and Technology and the United States Naval Observatory.

Applying these improved understandings, the MINOS collaboration measures a neutrino arrival time for travel between Fermilab and Soudan, Minn., that is consistent with the expected travel time at the speed of light. The difference between the measured and calculated times is -15 ± 31 nanoseconds, indicating no observable effect.

Gotta include the plug for the home team.

  1. Contemporary physics is empirically failed theory: String/M-theory, quantum gravitation, dark matter, Higgs, SUSY, and above all “superluminal neutrinos.” A Wesley Crusher brigade is making it up as it goes along.

    Euclid and Newton are weak for their defective founding postulates, hence Bolyai; Maxwell Einstein and quantum mechanics. Physics has abandoned empirical constraints for neverending flights of rigorously meaningless mathematical drivel.

    The Equivalence Principle (EP): all local non-relativistic bodies vacuum free fall along identical direction and speed minimum action trajectories. Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama gravitation demands geometric – not composition or field – EP violations. Opposite shoes violate the EP. Assumed vacuum symmetry toward matter falls to chemically and macroscopically identical, enantiomorphic space group single crystal test masses in geometric Eotvos experiments. A net non-null output contradicts no prior observation. It fundamentally sources all parity violations, ends dark matter, ends SUSY, allows a matter absent antimatter universe, and disavows quantum gravitation as written. 90 days in existing apparatus ends the madness. Somebody should look.
