Neutrinos may not be faster than light, but they can shapeshift - C C - Jun 20, 2015 http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/18/neutrinos-muon-tau-experiment/?ncid=rss_truncated EXCERPT: About four years ago, CERN made a claim that sent shockwaves through the scientific community. During the course of an experiment, CERN scientists apparently discovered that neutrinos -- tiny subatomic particles that travel near light speed -- could possibly accelerate faster than light. That, however, turned out to be an error, apparently due to some faulty testing equipment [Sad trombone]. Why are we talking about this now? Well, scientists have finally completed the experiment's original goal, which was to see if neutrinos could shift from one type to another [...] And, well, they can....
