Speed-of-light experiments yield baffling result at LHC
The most striking thing that came across to me in the report is that the time difference is 60ns thereabouts!<p>Thats a whole lot of time delay, not a "tiny fraction" as the reports say. Light travels about 18m (~60 feet) in that time.  A modern cpu will have processed more than 100 instructions in that time interval. So you don't actually need a CERN quality clock to measure it.<p>So if this turns out to be due to systematic errors of various kinds, I'm wondering what <i>other</i> measurements from the lab will be cast into doubt as a consequence!<p>Exciting result and possibly exciting times ahead for physics.
