Predictions for 2012: How Did They Pan Out?
At the end of last year, I made a series of predictions for world events that would take place in 2012. Being an honest sort of lady, it seems appropriate that I should go back and see how well I … Continue reading

I Guess That’s It
This looks like it’s pretty much the final nail in the coffin of those superluminal neutrinos I loved so well. Alas. Oh well: guess we’re stuck with ten dimensions in string theory, and also no interstellar starships for the forseeable … Continue reading
No Time Travel For You!
It seems that scientists at OPERA may have finally managed to explain-away that superluminal neutrino: According to sources familiar with the experiment, the 60 nanoseconds discrepancy appears to come from a bad connection between a fiber optic cable that connects … Continue reading

It seems that CERN may have found our linchpin. There’s not an awful lot to say about this as yet (and lord knows, I’m not the one to say it, in view of the fact that I haven’t even taken … Continue reading
FTL Neutrinos, Part 1: What They (Might) Mean
Right, so last weak I enumerated all of the things that the apparent discovery of superluminal neutrinos definitively did not mean. Now, I will list some of the things which I think that it may mean, based purely on my … Continue reading
FTL Neutrinos, Part 2: What They Don’t Mean
That faster-than-light neutrino still refuses to go away. Granted, this latest experiment doesn’t prove that it really is going faster than c; all that it does is disprove one proposed source of error; it is still entirely possible that some … Continue reading
