Contested 'faster-than-light' experiment yields results

 From afp.com
A fiercely contested experiment that appears to show the accepted speed limit of the Universe can be broken has yielded the same results in a re-run, European physicists said. But counterparts in the United States said the experiment still did not resolve doubts and the Europeans themselves acknowledged this was not the end of the story. On September 23, the European team issued a massive challenge to fundamental physics by saying they had measured particles called neutrinos which travelled...Read Full Story

How to gain super powers by sneaking into a particle physics lab

By Angelastic on  From angelastic.com
In the film Spider-Man 3, escaped convict Flint Marko jumps over a fence marked: Danger Particle Physics Test Facility Keep Out And ends up getting caught in a some kind of beam and becoming the Sandman, a being made out of sand who can change his shape at will. I watched it in the theatre with about a dozen people from CERN (all of them named Maikel ), and one of them exclaimed, ‘Run to building 40 , get a coffee!’ Unfortunately, you won’t turn into the Sandman by sneaking into...Read Full Story

Austria to stay in particle physics lab after all

 From reuters.com
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria has changed its mind and will now not pull out of the international particle physics laboratory CERN over the cost, Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a statement on Monday, overruling his science minister. The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has created the biggest machine ever -- a particle collider under the French-Swiss border outside Geneva which aims to recreate the conditions of the "Big Bang," the origin of the universe. "Austria has been a...Read Full Story

Atom Smashing

By Daleberryhill on  From onthisveryspot.blogspot.com
You probably saw the headlines earlier this month: Particle Accelerator Could Destroy the World! Apparently some scientists are worried that experiments conducted by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will create one or more black holes that would swallow the earth. That didn't happen during the initial tests, but then a glitch occurred and the whole thing had to be shut down for two months. Why such a long delay? Well, not only is CERN the world's largest particle physics...Read Full Story

The results of repeat Neutrino experiment

By country1news on  From latestcountrynews.blogspot.com
The team which found that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and confirmed the result. If confirmed by other experiments, the find could undermine one of the basic principles of modern physics. Critics of the first report in September had said that the long bunches of neutrinos (tiny particles) used could introduce an error into the test. The new work used much shorter bunches. It has been posted to the Arxiv repository...Read Full Story
