"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."


We often had students that would send a print job to the printer,
and when that didn't print, they would send it again... and again...
and again... and again...

I wonder how many times the neutrino experiment will be repeated
without changing anything.

Sam, you seem to have a lot of trouble understanding that science is built
on experimentation and numbers and not arm waving press releases from UN
committies.

The first experiment had results at odds with current knowledge.

The second experiment was run to eliminate a possible source of error and
still had results at odds with current knowledge.

A scientist would expect the experiment to be rerun until either a source
of error is found or all errors have been eliminated, at which point the
search for new knowledge begins.
