Particle physics research, new particles, fifth force…
In a “breakthrough” for the field of particle physics, Professor of Physics Larry Hunter and colleagues at Amherst College and The University of Texas at Austin have established new limits on what scientists call “long-range spin-spin interactions” between atomic particles. Their observation would constitute the discovery of a “fifth force of nature” (in addition to the four…

Opera experiment: Things DO travel faster than light, what’s the big deal?
Scope A lot have been said for the OPERA experiment. It is now common understanding that a fault in the measuring equipment resulted in the neutrinos measured faster than light. The site http://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-physics-basics/neutrinos/neutrinos-faster-than-light/opera-what-went-wrong/ is the main source of information concerning that problem. However there are some unanswerd questions still hovering in the air… This is an…
