Perhaps more interesting it the C/P violation that has been found. There are three flavors of neutrinos: electron, muon and tao and each has an anti particle. Just wondering if they were using the anti particle versions because of the possible CP violation. Might be a very interesting additional clue if they are anti particles into why there is more matter than anti matter in the universe. I also note Einstein put his speed limit in a vacuum and the earth's crust isn't that. If anti particles, perhaps they are doing some anti Cerenkov radiation in the rock. If neutrinos flip flavors and there seems to be evidence they do then they are supposed to have a mass > 0. This makes them unable to even move at c. Considering dark energy ... perhaps the anti particles are really strange and have negative mass and/or negative energy.

Time depends upon relative motion. I claim that the sender and receiver were moving at different relative speeds due to the rotation of the Earth at different latitudes and longitudes. ID: 1172064 · |

Thank you for that information you gave here, Tullio. There was the information I would like to know a little about. ID: 1172065 · |

Since they are in motion relative to each other, how many rotations of the earth before Italy falls off into the sea?

> Unlikely, My understanding is that he was very stubborn and resisted changing his theories even when he was clearly wrong How do we know if Einstein ever got it right (or wrong)? Can his theories be proven in practice? Anyway, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity, Einstein's Special Relativity was published first - around 1905. Most likely this was a result of an effort made by him over some time. It took him another 10 years, the time period 1907-1915, to develop his General Theory of Relativity. One of his theories, the bending of light by means of Gravity, was verified by means of a total eclipse of the Sun in 1919. During that eclipse it was shown that the position of the background stars relative to the Sun changed slightly, which implied that the light coming from these stars was slightly bent by the gravity of the Sun. Also his theories explained the slight variability of the planet Mercury's position in the sky. Even Newton's laws were not totally exact, only the laws of Relativity gave a full explanation of this observed deviation. But this relates to big objects having large sizes, masses and relative slow motions compared to their sizes. The theories relating to Quantum Theory (difficult stuff) better explains what is happening at the (sub-) atomic level. ID: 1172088 · |

All Einstein theories have been experimentally verified (see the Gravity Probe B results) but for the existence of gravitational waves, which are being searched by the resonant mass detectors and the interferometers such as LIGO, VIRGO and GEO600 (see Einstein@home for details). I am personally running Einstein@home but the LIGO and VIRGO interferometers are currently being upgraded, so we are currently looking for radio pulsars and gamma-ray pulsars just to keep us happy, thanks to dr.Bruce Allen.Only GEO600 is active in Germany.
