"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...


I'm not sure what you're getting at here. What difference do gamma rays
make here? Are you saying that neutrinos are also emitted within
spallation events beside the gamma rays? Where is the spallation taking
place?

Anyways, my favored theory is still that this is an underground
geological anomaly caused by the Aquila Earthquake. It's simple, and
it's mundane compared to all of the other theories out there.
