This link has a video with the best clarification I've heard. One or
two might be interested.
One idea I do like is that of neutrinos 'seeing' a different
geometry. There are geometries in which distance is illusory. Knowing
all this I'll still be taking the train into town. People at
Manchester 1864 don't think the results will hold, but are spinning
some examples of what would make sense assuming they are right. I
always feel a bit of sadness when amongst scientists these days - it's
to do with how different the world of sane dialogue is compared with
everyday dross in which evidence is barely understood and reality
denied in favour of Idols.
I've become a fan of Rosanne Barr's candidature for President. Never
liked her show. Neutrinos probably won't do much to Einstein's
stuff. Quite why economic data hasn't got us thinking in more
primitive terms like hers I don't understand. This is where the
detail and supposed links with theory drives me. We remain medieval
in all except science. Scientists do not proceed in very rational
ways and it seems odd to me we abstract a false notion of this into
our more social affairs. The model of non-science "science" in
politics and journalism needs to be eradicated so that values,passion,
humour and compassion can flow without being shunned as
'emotionalism'. Tiny, abberant 'neutrinos' that might be tachyons
(with strange mass) can influence scientific thinking,yet years of
super-rich looting, war and more and more of our own in poverty hardly
cut muster amongst those in power. I find this intolerable. It's
like living in a world without data.
