Oh....and no, the train is actually whizzing past you're face at the speed of LIGHT!!!! Nothing slowed down by you're perspective at all! |
That's what I was thinking when he said that... |

| The fact that we don't detect neutrinos long before sighting a supernova suggests this is all hype. |

| even without reading the article I can say tachyon physics have been the subject of much speculation for a long time. But the speed of light is still a boundary as tachyons cannot interact with sub-light particles. |

Actually, time slows down then stops inside a black hole and that wouldn't bring you forward in time unless you were able to escape (although this may have been you're point). Although nobody knows what happens after you're in.
Most people agree that going back is impossible, but that going forward is possible with the right conditions. Stephen Hawking suggested a couple ways in a TV series about time travel which was fascinating. One of those ways was if we could build some sort of train or something that could circle the earth at the speed of light, and because the laws of the Universe won't allow anything to travel past the speed of light (or though we thought), if you were on that train walked from the back to the front you would essentially be traveling faster than the train (or faster than the speed of light). So since this was impossible, time would actually be slowed down on the train as you reach the speed of light, which meant that after a week on the train you would walk out and 100 years would have past on earth. I thought that was pretty amazing stuff, but we may have to rethink that now with this new discovery.
Now I know we can't build such a train (yet) but it is still pretty awesome stuff. |
he was describing the principle of simultaneousness with regards to relativity with the train car example [a common method for describing relativity's implications in many university textbooks], but he added a little twist to it. |

not so. I'm not an expert on stellar phenomena, but if the neutrinos were produced in a part of the reaction slightly after the explosion, that could produce a difference.
Or maybe the neutrinos weren't produced in great enough quantity from the original event to be detectable by our sensors here. Like travelling away from something, it gets smaller in the window. This is because less observable light is reaching you as it's spreading out in a bigger cone to cover the distance, the further you get away.
Or maybe that these 'neutrinos' from both events are different in type. The ones from the supernova might be slower moving tachyons on the fringe of existence between sub-light matter and super-light tachyons. Maybe these neutrinos do interact with normal matter in some degree and this causes them to slow as they travel. We don't understand neutrinos well, so it's impossible to say one way or the other on how they react.
The problem with particle physics is that it's so difficult to duplicate the variables which lead to result. Experiments like this rely heavily on extremely sensitive equipment and any number of factors can throw the whole outcome out the window. The results are exciting, but until they are verified, all of this is still just speculation. |

well if you can travel back in time you could travel to the point you first started whackin off to free porn on the net, and tell yourself to stick with dvds instead of 30 second clips. I blame all premature ejaculation problems on 30 second porno clips on the net. You trained yourself to beat the time because you were too lazy to stop jerkin and hit play again. |

Easy, while having intercourse......just stop thinking about the sex and start thinking about this, you'll never cum! |

what we need here ladies and gentlemen is a "tardis"
problem solved :)
*curious to seee who responds to this first* |

| As an active physics researcher all I have to say is please wait until another group confirms the result. A single experiment means nothing until it is confirmed independently. |
