The Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the
Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics, located nearly a mile below the
surface of the Gran Sasso mountains about 60 miles outside of Rome,
detects tiny particles called neutrinos.
By Clara Moskowitz
The final nail in the coffin may have been dealt to the idea that neutrino particles can travel faster than light.
The same lab that first reported the shocking results last
September, which could have upended much of modern physics, has now
reported that the subatomic particles called neutrinos "respect the
cosmic speed limit." Physicist Sergio Bertolucci, research director at Switzerland's CERN physics lab, presented the results Friday at the 25th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics in Kyoto, Japan.
