What's New, Neutrino?

ArXiv preprint: New Constraints on Neutrino Velocities

[W]e show that such superluminal neutrinos would lose energy rapidly via the bremsstrahlung of electron-positron pairs (\(nurightarrow nu+e^-+e^+\)). For the claimed superluminal neutrino velocity and at the stated mean neutrino energy, we find that most of the neutrinos would have suffered several pair emissions en route, causing the beam to be depleted of higher energy neutrinos. Thus we refute the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA result.

One more part of the puzzle.

  1. Contemporary theorists tell us the universe is fundamentally quantized, accompanied by hectares of published maths that cannot be empirically falsified. Classical physics tell us the universe is fundamentally geometrized, and testably so to at least 14 decimal places. GPS works, etc.

    Sin like you mean it! Don’t vote for vacuum geometry, demonstrate it,

    Why should the Casimir effect hog all the fun? If you wish to evade Relativity you need a loophole, e.g., Einstein’s Fern-Parallellismus. A frontal assault will fail.
