The neutrinos are still slower than light


 The journal "Science" has reported that, according to sources close to study the range of 60 nanoseconds seems to come from a bad connection of a fiber optic cable connecting the GPSreceiver, used to measure the flight time of neutrinos to a card-electronically on a computer.

The “Science” magazine has reported that, according to sources from the CERN, the results of the amazingly fast speed of the neutrinos (60 nanoseconds faster than light) might be due to an error.

This mistake was an improperly connected cable of optical fiber, which linked the central clock of the CERN with a card or the computer used to determine the time of departure and arrival of the particles, in their way from France to Italy.

Therefore, Einstein´s theory still reigns, at least untill may, when the experiments will be repeated.
