European Physicists Will Race Neutrinos Again, Trying to Reproduce Faster-Than-Light Results
The physicists who claimed to see neutrinos moving faster than light are moving quickly to replicate their experiment, hoping to substantiate their results before submitting them for publication. Since announcing their bizarre, seemingly impossible findings last month, physicists around the world have offered a few possible explanations. But perhaps the best test will be a retest.

The point is to look for flip-flops in neutrino flavor, which requires precisely measuring and averaging the chargeless particles' arrival and departure times. It was in this routine timing that...
