      From: jyablon@nycap.rr.com              \_the nearly simultaneous arrival of the photons and neutrinos after a       journey of some 160 000 yr\_              I am in the midst of writing up a reply to recent comments from Phillip       and Lawrence. But a quick question regarding the study cited by       Steven.              The quote above from the abstract has me scratching my head. Photons are       massless while neutrinos do have a very tiny mass. So neutrinos will       travel at a rapid but still subluminal velocity. So how after such a       long journey can they arrive at nearly the same time? Unless the word       \_nearly_/ was used to indicate an accounting for the small mass which       would slightly delay their arrival?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
