This is pretty interesting but I doubt it will have any real implications for the real world context.
I mean, these are neutrinos; ie; nothing of value.

If it is true, and I do not believe it is, it means that we can signal backwards in time.

In relativity, moving faster than light is directly equivalent to moving backwards in time because from certain reference frames events will be in the other order.


Errr. No.

I'm doing a physics degree. I think that's correct.

Edit: So much misinformation in this thread I can't begin to respond to it all.


Let me make it a little clearer:

 

''If it is true, and I do not believe it is, it means that we can signal backwards in time.''

Err no.

 

Because, if it is true then the conditions of Special Relativity are broken which means you can't use SR to begin with. Unless you only want to accept the theory partly, but then who are you to choose which parts are to be accepted and which not?
