Ereditato declined to speculate on what it might mean if other physicists, who will be officially informed of the discovery at a meeting in CERN on Friday, found that OPERA's measurements were correct.

"I just don't want to think of the implications," he said. "We are scientists and work with what we know."

Much science-fiction literature is based on the idea that, if the light-speed barrier can be overcome, time travel might theoretically become possible.

Why don't they want to think of the implications? This should be an extremely exciting discovery leading to many thoughts, theories, and speculations.

So, for the physics majors on GFY, a couple questions. Why does something that can travel faster than the speed of light mean that time travel may be possible? What will this do to the study of physics?

i'm a novice when it comes to the subject but i'll take a shot at it... (someone correct me if i'm way off please!)

We see things through light transfer, reflection etc with our eyes. The stars we see are so far away that we are looking at them from the past. If we can travel faster than light we can can surpass what we can see and essentially time travel.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't open the doors for things like going BACK in time.. I really don't think that is even possible.. but being able to view things before we can see them would be quite impressive.

first off there is no 'time'. time is the same a 'mile' in that is is not a natural occurrence only a device which men use to measure certain aspects of reality. going back in time using faster than light speeds would meant this in practice: seeing a Galaxy explode, because as you move closer you will be seeing the event earlier in time. it's not about meeting your mom in HS

Ok I will try to get to her...

All right I will spooge in my pants before I can even get my eye to the telescope..

Anyway this discovery is going to get interesting..

novice here as well but that's the way i understand it too. but it would be a way to "go back"

if a point in space is say, 20 light years away from you, and you could can send some apparatus to that point in 10 years, it'd start seeing the light from 10 years ago and up

Human beings are quite impressive in some ways. We view things in our minds that don't exist, and we create them, sometimes on a massive scale (i.e. computers, fiber optics technology, the walls in your room). We view things before we can physically see them. We create from nothing something never before seen and only imagined.

We also cheat light constantly. My night vision site shows what can't be seen with the naked eye in the dark, so do xrays and ultrasounds. So many real world examples of this, including what CERN did today.

However if you're attempting to limit the discussion to being able to sense something visually, before you can sense it visually, then that's a straw mans discussion and I'm out on that one.

Bird · 09-22-2011, 02:53 PM

Tomorrow, CERN celebrates socialist women's day
The first International Women's Day was observed in the U.S. on February 28th, 1909, by a declaration of the Socialist Party of America. They wanted to remember mostly female victims of a factory fire. The following year, in 1910, the celebrations went international when they were adopted by the Second Socialist International in Copenhagen.

No, it does't mean that.

The neutrino had to travel about 700km. You can then calculate the time it should take to get there.

So with 299 792 458m/s over 700,000m..that's about 0.002334948 seconds if I'm not mistaken.

A nanosecond is 0.000000001 seconds.

According to the artical, what happens is is that it arrived 60 nanoseconds earlier than expected.

So: 0.002334948 - 0.000000060 = 0.002334888 seconds over the 700km.

$1 says Bachman or Pat Robertson try to make the argument that 'If einstein can be wrong so can Darwin' as part of a renewed push for 'intelligent design.'

It could be a monumental discovery but people will assign it their own agenda even faster than a neutrino can move.

the faster you travel towards the speed of light the slower time passes relative to a stationary object. it is a way of future time travel, not of going to the past.
