"Subatomic particles were again clocked travelling faster than
light by European researchers after the experiment was revised
to rule out a certain type of error."


... But they never took care of the possible 65ns timing error,
for the fact the two sets of detectors are many miles apart,
and they did not discern between gamma photons created in
spallation processes, and those form the original event.

Still so not news...

.... why in the world would gamma photons detected be the identical
photons originally emitted? Absorption and re-emission is not a zero
duration process. How did they account for that?
