Did you hear the one about the neutrino?

"We don't serve faster-than-light neutrinos here." said the the bartender. A neutrino walked into the bar.


Here's the article where I read that btw:


Particles Faster Than the Speed of Light? Not So Fast, Some Say

“Does E still equal MC squared?”

So asks the Irish band the Corrigan Brothers in a new song, “Einstein and the Neutrinos,” that is the latest rollicking riff on news that shocked the scientific world last month.

A group of physicists from Italy claimed they had observed the subatomic particles called neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light. That, of course, is the cosmic speed limit declared in Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity in 1905.

If they are right — and the jury is still out — Einstein might have some explaining to do. Among other things, a neutrino or anything else that went faster than the speed of light could go backward in time.

1. I know a lot of people have heard this but maybe a few have not. >>

There once was a Lady, Quite bright;
She could travel much faster than light;
She set out one day, in a relative way;
And came back the previous night.

2. INTERVIEW with that NEUTRINO>

http://mixedanimal.blogspot.com/2011/09/interview-with-neutrino-who-broke-speed.html

Because of certain high-level scientific connections
I have in the world of science (related to my work on
furniture in outer space, apple molecules, etc.), I was
fortunate enough to be contacted by the European Organization
for Nuclear Research to be the first to interview the neutrino
who was recently timed going faster than the speed of light.
Here is a transcript of that interview.

RM: You've been timed going faster than the speed of light.
Congratulations.

NEUTRINO: Yes, thank you. 16 millionths of a second faster
than light. Or is it billionths? Billionths, I believe. In
any case, I just get going and I go. I love to go. That's my
bag....
