Neutrinos and Speed of light
Einstein's Special Theory of relativity postulates that the speed of light is same for all frames.
Suppose a neutrino is there moving at the speed of light. Then will that neutrino also be flowing ...

Can the speed of an electromagnetic wave be measured in the absence of neutrinos?
Let me explain better: from what I understand neutrinos are so pervasive they are literally everywhere. And since they have such a tiny electric charge they barely interact with anything and cannot be ...

Light vs neutrino speed comparison in a real tunnel
Given current accuracy of the techniques, is it possible to identify a real, existing tunnel (stright I think) to make the direct comparison of the speed of light and of neutrinos?
The hypotetical ...

When the speed of light has been measured, recently?
Yes, it is weird, absurd, but I can't stop thinking that the would-be superluminal
neutrino speed has been computed by an arithmetic operation (space/time) and not by direct comparison with a ...
