Neutrino reaction

摘要

From NeilMckeMe I would like to suggest a much simpler explanation for the velocity of neutrinos exceeding that of light (l October, p 6). All electromagnetic vibrations are slowed by matter. Even in "empty" space, there are still a few atoms and charged particles. Therefore, there can never be a precise experimental determination of the value of the speed of light - c - using light. In fact, since transient electron-positron pairs are continually being created in a vacuum, it follows that even an absolute vacuum would slow down light a little. All the OPERA experiment shows, I think, is that neutrinos, and not light, allow for a more precise measurement of c.
