CERN webcast shows the speed of light is not a barrier

The OPERA experiment, which observes a neutrino beam from CERN 730 km away at Italy's INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory, will present new results in a seminar at CERN this afternoon at 16:00 CEST. The seminar will be webcast. Journalists wishing to ask questions may do so via twitter using the hash tag #nuquestions, or via the usual CERN communication channels.

This supports the Standard Vibration Model by showing that sub-atomic vibrations can and must vibrate past C. By showing different vibrations have a directional rate of x, we must consider the type of vibration, the information stored, the medium the vibration is travelling through and the impact of other vibrations upon the vibration.

This model needs the neutrino to exceed the speed of light to maintian the strength and integrity of the baryon and its relevent bosons. ------- Other articles of interest on this. Success or failure, for Einstein its all relative.

Speed of light is a variable

The speed of light has a maximum velocity of 2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum.


The index of refraction of some common materials are given below.

Values of n come from the CRC Handbook
of Chemistry and Physics






v = c/n
Where
v = velocity of light through the medium
c = maximum speed of light in a vacuum
n = optical density or refractive index of media


--------------------------------------
v(lead) = c/n(lead)= (299792458 m/s) /(2.6) = 115304791.538 m/s through lead.

Dark Energy has a refractive index of ~<1. Though quite small Dark Energy still affects the speed, wavelength, frequency, and temperature of the photon-wave over great distances.

This is very important. I am beginning to think that the only constant is change.
