-Short Attention Span Theater-
Head of 'faster-than-light' neutrinos team resigns
2012-03-31
Can't resist.
GENEVA - The scientist who headed a European research team that last year measured particles traveling faster than light has resigned.

Italy's National Institute of Nuclear Physics says Antonio Ereditato has stepped down from the leadership of the OPERA experiment weeks after a rival team cast doubt on the accuracy of its readings. Ereditato confirmed his resignation to The Associated Press in an email Friday but declined to comment further.
I guess that "close enough for government work" thing doesn't fly over there?
The OPERA team's measurements on the speed of neutrinos were met with surprise by the scientific community when announced in September. According to Albert Einstein's theories, nothing can travel faster than light.
Hey, they said there'd be no math...
