re: #97 LudwigVanQuixote

Fermilab was going to try and run a duplicate experiment to see if they could replicate the results, but I’m with you in thinking that one of the parameters of the experiment were off - and it wouldn’t take much to get to the wrong conclusion.

And from what I recall, there was at least one other experiment in the past that claimed particles went faster than light, but which upon closer examination didn’t turn out to be the case.

But even if particles can’t go faster than light, scientists have been able to make light slow down (and have for more than a decade).
