Uh, Oh: BICEP2 Results In Jeopardy?
In article ,
Robert L. Oldershaw wrote: (1) Are you aware of how many papers were posted to arXiv.org after the OPERA pseudo-result? Many professional physicists believed that a flaw in special relativity had been found. Your second sentence doesn't follow from your first. Many professional theorists thought it worth publishing papers saying 'if this is true, these might be the consequences'. That doesn't mean that they believed it. For any sensible definition of 'believe', I doubt that any professional physicist did so, up to and including the OPERA team.
