drop sleep dream

Don’t know what to think about this whole neutrino business.  I mostly think it’s pretty exciting, but may mean I need to remember/catch up on a whole bunch of physicsy stuff that I wasn’t paying enough attention to previously if I’m not gonna feel all out of touch and old fashioned when they start teaching string theory at school.  Or something. 

Also, does this mean that we’re going to see a scientific revolution in action…?  Does this count as a critical experiment…?

This is possibly the geekiest post I’ve ever written.  Well done Shazia for spurring me on…tsk.

It’s funny how I spent 4 years trying so hard not to read scientific papers, but here I am, with a job app on one side of the screen and the other side I searched for the recent paper on neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light, that if incidentally were to be true, would destroy all fundamentals of physics and Einstein’s relativity… and our degrees…
I will get the app done tonight though…
