As far as i understood, that's exactly what they did, and GPS was used for determining the distance between the sites.

Ah... The article made it sound like they sent a signal from the starting point that the package was underway and that it should start measuring... which would of course mean that the package would arrive there sooner than the signal even if not traveling FTL, so I must have misread something somewhere...

I think they would have thought about that being they are more cleverer than us.

They need to redo the test, time and time again to prove the claim. But they may not bother considering the mass effect it would have, what with people fearing any contridiction to the laws of physics. It's just being anti-neutrino. :lol:

What if...

Neutrinos, you have to love them, probably no choice!

Speaking of SixySymbols, it's a pretty good channel on YouTube and has plenty more interesting scientific videos ranging from astronomy to quantum mechanics.

I'm going to have to give the SixtySymbols channel a link in my favs.

Remember Einstein’s static universe theory... anybody can be wrong, even a genious.

Question, question question, rinse then repeat.

Right behind you - don't look!
Just because some neutrinos can make it to Italy and back faster than light can, doesn't mean that we're going to have warp-drives in ten years.

We should try it with Germany. Speed limits aren't enforced so tightly, I can understand neutrinos going to Italy might want to exercise a little caution.
