It looks like those sneaky neutrinos aren’t traveling faster that light after all. That’s the gist of an argument from a physicist in the Netherlands.
A few weeks ago, the science world was abuzz about an experiment that showed neutrinos going faster than light. The ghostly particles apparently arrived at their destination (an underground detector) 60 nanoseconds faster than photons of light would have done. If true, this would have shaken some of the foundations of physics, since Einstein determined over a century ago that the speed of light (approximately 186,000 miles per second) is the ultimate speed limit.
