NBA Notes: Overlooking the Sacramento Kings? – Daily Entertainment Pics.com : Sacramento Kings fans could get a clue about their favorite NBA team will stick around long term Tuesday, when the city of Sacramento Council votes on two measures related to the proposal to build a $ 387 million sports and entertainment, including a new basketball arena to keep the Kings in the city. The Council plans to review the plan of $ 555 000 to analyze the project and to help negotiate with teams and leagues. NBC Sports said Tuesday’s meeting will mark the first time that the Council was asked to approve any actual funding of the project and could provide an early indication of its future. The report states that the approval … Continue reading

Speed of light broken by neutrinos

Scientists around the world reacted with cautious shock on Friday to results from an Italian laboratory that seemed to show that certain subatomic particles can travel faster than light. If true, the finding breaks one of the most fundamental laws of physics and raises bizarre possibilities including time travel and shortcuts via hidden extra dimensions. Speed of light broken by neutrinos Scientists at the Opera (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus) experiment in Gran Sasso, Italy, found that neutrinos sent through the Earth to its detectors from Cern, 730km away in Geneva, arrived earlier than they should have. The journey would take a beam of light around 2.4 milliseconds to complete, but after running the Opera experiment for three years and timing the arrival of 15,000 neutrinos, the scientists have calculated that the particles arrived at Gran Sasso 60 billionths of a second earlier, with an error margin of plus or minus 10 billionths of a second. The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 metres per second, so the neutrinos were apparently travelling at 299,798,454 metres per second. Continue reading
