Time IS our Relative consciousness. ^^This^^ The past, present and the future coexist hence making time travel impossible. Not to mention the fact time itself doesn't exist as you said.

Krispy71 User ID: 4126665 Netherlands 11/18/2011 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, its on the positive side for change, anyway. They seemed to be leaning more towards this being a reality rather than not. Quoting: SickScent From the article: The new tests, completed 6 November, did away with the statistical analysis by splitting each pulse into bunches just 1- to 2-nanoseconds long, allowing each neutrino detected at Gran Sasso to be tied to a particular bunch produced at CERN. These tests were carried out over 10 days and provided 20 events. The researchers confirmed that the neutrinos arrived 60 nanoseconds early, with an uncertainty of about 10 nanoseconds, comparable to that of the initial result. The collaboration has also checked its original statistical analysis, but today's decision to submit the results to a journal was not unanimous. "About four people" among the group of around 15 who did not sign the preprint have signed the journal submission, according to a source within the collaboration, while "four new people" have decided not to sign. That leaves the number of dissenters at about 15, compared with about 180 who did sign the journal submission. [link to news.sciencemag.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1855758 Or, it's possibly wrong, according to your definition of statistics. Either way, this thread is wrong. Go ahead guys, make another " wtf is science doing, they don't know anything!!! " thread. No, its not EIGHTER/OR ... Statistics are based on the same unchangable STATIC conditions ... and THAT is not the case with LIFE and MATTER. Biology proved that there are many many UNSUSPECTED UNSTATISTICAL results, which are NO ANOMALIES eighter. The fact that WE couldnt THINK and imagine something to be able or true, doesnt make it UNTRUE or unreal-alistic. Our KNOWLEDGE isnt almighty, and Nature and Science have proved that many times. It is fine to track Theories and statistics when we keep in mind that there could be space/room for alteration and perfection in the defenitions and 'formulations we glued onto Reality' ... In most of our humans-eyes, mind and perception, this measurement of faster-then-light neutrino's is an anomaly or a flaw. Understandable. It sure is wise and educational to repeat the tests in order to determine new insights and defenitions, I agree. It IS CONFIRMED to have happened during more then 1 test, so that doesnt makes it an anomaly nor a singularity any more. Other data that comes from CERN/LHC isnt debated and tried to debunk as much as this outcome ... again understandable and in line of human-psychology. If something is in line of our expectations it is more easely adapted as being TRUE and possible. We are conditioned that way. I dont blame you or others to think that way. What we must not forget is that (since the first existance of life and evolution) we are traveling in a constant of different compositions of space. Our trajectory and path through space is not the same as 50 years ago. Nasa confirmed that we are traveling through a cloud of different interstellar particles, and dont forget the influence on us AND SPACE of the Fluffy/Ribbon that is nearing faster and faster. Or even dont take out of account that we are aproaching an UNIQUE allignment of different universal objects (Galaxy's, suns and planets) that also have their influence on all the objects in participation ! Gravitational and magnetical as well as electrical changes go with that. We didnt have THOSE when STATISTICS were formulated decades ago !!!! Science = measuring the effects that something has on an other thing, .. and that EVERYTHING has an INFLUENCE on EVERYTHING ! So ... a different enviroment can show different measurements. And since we are actually traveling through a different ENVIROMENT then years ago, it could be possible to measure different outcomes. Dont forget that the Sun is behaving differently then decades before, more neutrino's have been measured, and although they interact rarely directly with other Matter, they have shown to INTERACT and being responsable for a lot of alterations (like the increase in the radioactive particles decay-rate ...) The only flaw in science and measurements is, that WE can only measure what we are LOOKING for, and of which we have knowledge of !!! When scientists didnt KNOW about INFRA-RED WAVES, they couldnt measure it and were not looking for it, thus in our perception they DID NOT EXIST ... when in REALITY THEY DID EXIST. I dont have to mention that there is still more that we DONT have knowledge of, then that of what we do know ... The UNIVERS is still a major mistery that we try to understand with thesises that fill in gaps between assumptions that dont nessacarely have to be correct. In the Middleages they had THE ASSUMPTION and STATISTIC that the Earth was FLAT, and the center of our solarsystem ... Well .... We NOW KNOW that was a BIG FLAW in defenition ...lol... I agree that some measurements can be POSSIBLY WRONG. That is what science is about : looking for POSSIBILITIES ! It is not important wheter this thread is RIGHT or WRONG ... it is important that we dare to look beyond the borders of statistical perception, that we have a look at POSSIBILITIES, in the knowledge that we can be "spot-on", or "partially right", "partially wrong" ... or even after a while come to the conclusion that it indeed turned out to be a wild-goose-chase .... If science would only hold on to what is KNOW and STATISTICAL, NO NEW INVENTIONS WOULD ARRISE ... and NO NEW KNOWLEDGE would be GAINED ! Tnx |
