I-Mockery Forum - I-Mockery Chat (Lube up those lips)

after reading a ton of stupid articles claiming that we have just sent a particle back in time through another dimension, I finally read opera's release and I don't get it

if they have the level of accuracy/uncertainty that they are claiming - isn't that higher than the one we achieved when measuring the speed of light half a century ago? assuming that this is actually the case, then wouldn't that imply that the implication here isn't that a neutrino is actually faster than the speed of light, but simply that our accepted model for the speed of light has been off this entire time? why has no one proposed this skepticism? why are they more quick to accept the back-in-time theory? :(

is it just that if that is in fact the case then it's far too scary to mention or think about because it means that everything we have ever measured in modern history has been wrong and we've set ourselves back two hundred years with our newer, preciser technology? is preciser a word?

Faulty equipment is an even better answer for scepticism but not my doomsday pants creaming.

Adding the LOL emoticon to a large percentage of your posts doesn't mean you are adding humour. You are using it to laugh at your own jokes. :lol

I'm trying to be really secret about it. They'll take it away if we appear to be too interested.

Pretty much the only reason I read through this thread is for posts like that.

It certainly isn't for the miles of Pram Maven posts.

I did like when he thought Thrash0 was that other guy though.

I was going to go down a whole route of "studying black people is like bird watching" with hides and mating calls etc but it just feels a bit too much like what Don Carlson the racist animator would do.

I was called racist once because I can do a good impression of Gus from Psych :(

because thats ridiculous to assume off of one anomalous test? besides didn't they get results saying it went faster and others saying it went slower -- so that explanation would be impossible.

also did scientists really say that it went back in time or is it just idiots who said that? I would think a better explanation would be that time slowed down -- the speed of light stayed the same :O
but i dont think a scientist should really say either of those things

Really, the problem with science news is that most headlines are bullshit written by idiots. Did anyone see the "Ice cream is as addictive as heroin" headline a few weeks back? Good job being shitty, shitty journalists.

Speaking of the News; do we know if Clay is still alive? Do we know if he was the one shooting up those families in Afghanistan?

My power bill says "Friends"at the top. Guys, if I'm not giving you three hundred bucks a month then we are clearly not as tight as I am with my electricity supplier.
