    IS LIGHT SPEED THE SAME IN AND OUT OF A VACUUM? WHAT ABOUT NEUTRINO SPEED BEING FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT?

    IT IS SAID THAT NEUTRINOS TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I THOUGHT NOTHING TRAVELS FASTER THAN LIGHT. BESIDES A BLACK HOLE, WHAT AFFECTS THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. DO NEUTRINOS TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT IN DIFFERANT INSTANCES? SUCH AS IN WATER, VACUUM ETC?

    nothing travels faster than the speed of light. In physics-as-we-understand-them, it is the absolute and ultimate speed limit in our universe

    As to NEUTRINOS TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT IN DIFFERANT INSTANCES? SUCH AS IN WATER, VACUUM ETC, NO


    OPERA team failed to take gravity into their math equations and its effect on the clocks used to time the experiment. This because the degree of gravity at the two stations involved in the experiment (Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy and the CERN facility in Geneva) were different, thus one of the clocks would have been running slightly faster than the other, resulting in faulty timing. If this turns out to be the case, the OPERA team will most certainly be embarrassed to have overlooked such a basic problem with their study.
