weather the Einstein theory about light get wrong after cern experiment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've seen some news for this recently. It does in fact appear, that CERN's equipment was calibrated wrong. Thank Goodness; General Relativity and Electro-Magnetism triumph again! Now I won't have to go study Religion/Philosophy. :-) LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the experiment done many times and other places also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and its just about the speed of light postulate not about e=mcc

Here is the Link to the Science Daily article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120316204743.htm

Here is another article from John Matson at Scientific American: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/03/16/not-so-fast-independent-measurement-shows-neutrinos-dont-exceed-speed-of-light/

If it's just about the "speed of light postulate", then it has everything to do with E=mc^2 and GR. C is to remain constant in vacuum and nothing in the universe can travel faster than c. Think about what happens to the fabric of space-time if c is not constant in vacuum. It would mean a complete rethinking of EM, GR, and QM. Again, I am very relieved that they have found the errors within the experiment.

yeah at first they said that einstein failed in his experiment but some weeks before they realized that einstein was right
