Can Neutrinos Move Faster Than the Speed of Light?

Can neutrinos move faster than the speed of light? Turns out they can't. But will they surprise us in other ways? Moderator Bill Weir asks Lawrence Krauss, Francis Halzen, and Janet Conrad what we know about neutrinos and what we can expect to learn. Each shares their unique insights on what excites them about the future of neutrino physics.

Lawrence, your nervousness aswering questions speaks volumes.

I want to know what the flaw in the experiment was

[paxwebb]

I thought this was disproven… any measurement of a "faster than light" particle can be explained by how quantum tunneling can shorten the distance said particle has traveled.

I had a weird dream years ago about a craft that used a coating of neutrino
To travel faster than the speed of light and could pass through planets the pilot tried to explain that neutrino have no attraction but are held in a lattice via?? I woke up with no idea what the he'll that was about lol

If physicans tell me nothing can be faster than light, then i tell you, you are not a physican, you are a fortuneteller...

Nikola Tesla said _(decades_ ago) that stuff can travel faster than the speed of light.

[jojogkiller]

? entanglement is not speed
how can he think that it actually travel i cant understand him. they just everywhere anytime

[YOSUP]

Neutrinos could help understand the universe at a deeper level? That's amazing, but I still don't know what a neutrino actually *does*.

[batmandeltaforce]

It's amusing watching flat earth thinkers:)

[codyallen]

Hmm suspect. I have to trust these guys to tell me the truth?
