Is it possible to travel faster than the speed of light?

I saw that data interpretation of the neutrinos, and while there is much to be studied of the data ("Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"), I think it'd be hilarious if Einstein had to be re-written.

Yeah, that's the article I read. As I quoted from them, they will be required to check their data. I can think of a few here who would say, "Nuh uh." .

Let's see how things unfold in the next few weeks, months. Quadophile 1 month ago .

Neutrinos are sub atomic particles that, if the research proves out, would appear to do so. There is a considerable difference between a subatomic particle doing something and a larger thing (like, let's say, a grain of salt) going that fast. And it's a much much much bigger deal to think that something the size of a human could move that fast.So don't think that you will be flying to Mars in 20 seconds .... any time soon.

Sigh. Perhaps it would be better to not have any medical or scientific news reinterpreted and spewed out into the mass media. They usually get it at least partially wrong.

What's going on in this neutrino thingy, is that they're comparing the time of flight between two points on Earth, with the distance measured, using GPS, between those two points. Now think about this-- the GPS distance measurement is based on a lot of things, including the speed of light between those two points and several satellites, the accuracy of a bunch of atomic clocks, and the speed of radio waves through vacuum, ionosphere, and air! They're talking about a 50 nanosecond discrepancy, which is about 50 feet.

All it would take is a 50-foot error in measuring the 250 mile distance between the endpoints. An error there is MUCH more likely than there being faster-than-c travel. And note, even if it is faster, we're talking way under 1% faster.

Another explanation is that neutrinos are NOT going faster than c, it's that our measurements of c have been a bit off-- there's no solid reason why light or radio waves have to go at exactly c, perhaps there is a slight fudge factor that does not apply to neutrinos..

And there's the additional complication that neutrinos almost certainly have a very small amount of mass, very small. If they have any mass, relativity says they can't go at c, as that would take infinite energy. So either relativity theory needs to be fine-tuned, or the measurements are a bit off, or something really weird happens when neutrinos go through the Earth.

Maybe the Mole People are to blame? .

Oh boy! That is so true. Quadophile 1 month ago .

I read a piece where a German physicist claimed he sent information at 2.5 times the speed of light. If he did, this would not violate Einstein since the information should have had no mass.

Almost all of the equations of physics of the known universe are incomplete. They can't be regarded as absolutely flawless, unless you want to be like NASA, get numerous people killed, and have all of your satellites off course, some by millions of miles, and then blame it on "dark matter", fabricate a factor of "dark matter" in the equation and STILL get it wrong.

It is not possible to travel the speed of light, much less faster than the speed of light.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
