Replying to Why the neutrinos arent travelling faster than light.
this is just my opinion, but it may very well be true so i want to put this out first so i get street credirs for it.
from everything i here about buetrinos, they go straight. straight straight straght. strait through pretty much anything. strait through the earth.
my hypothesis is that space time mae have tiny ripples in it, like little waves on the surface of a pond. and light has to stay on the surface of these ripples because light remains in the universe. but if a truly straight path necesistates going out of and then then back into and then out and back in, than a neutrino travelling near c may be able to shortcut while light has to stay in 4d spacetime.
think of the neutrinos as taking the tunnel under a mountain at 99 miles an hour, and light having to travel over the top of the mountain at 100 miles per hour.
thats the only reasonable i can think of for the neutrinos getting there first but i still think there is an experimental error. either way, nothing with mass travels as fast as light while remaining in the universe.
this pisses me off though because in information theory, according to my own philosophy, reality travels at the speed of light. so neutrinos must not be able to violate this.
any ideas how faster than light neutrinos can exist without being able to send information faster than light?
