http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/s...no-result.html The obvious answer is to get WADA to test the neutrinos. Its probably just Spanish beef and the problem will go away if you ban them. |

The physicists I know don't get emotional about these kind of discoveries. As the late great Richard Feynman said, if you don't like the way physical reality works (quantum lecture), then go and find something else to do. Like go ride your bike. |

That can't be possible. Nothing is supposed to have more mass that a fully kitted out FM. Not much danger of one of them varmints exceeding c though. -- |

That's when this stuff gets comtemplated the most. Go ride your bike and think about something else would be better advice. Do you think BL rides his bike without thinking about LA? Good for him if he can do it. Phil H |

Maybe it's because I'm not a scientist, but it has always seemed obvious to me that there can be no "laws" of physics, nature, whatever, because we know very little about anything, not even ourselves. *Of course, mankind being inherently stupid, always think they do despite generations of change. You can extrapolate all you like on seemingly irrefutable evidence but the odds are you'll be proven wrong one day. *The "laws" of physics are simply more evidence of man's immaturity and lack of understanding. OTOH, who gives a ****? *None of it's real... UD UD, what a sad take on science. It strives to understand how the universe works so it can predict outcomes; a very important ingredient to technological development. Rather than being proved wrong, often a more inclusive truth is discovered. In the case of Newton's laws of motion, they work very well at lower velocities but not at velocities approaching the speed of light. Hence Einstein's more inclusive special relativity.
