In general Fut Coins things arent turned over by one experiment, saidRob Plunkett, a physicist at Fermilab National Laboratory in Batavia,Illinois. The whole process of science is by its nature selfchecking; one experiment always has to be checked withanother.
Plunkett is in a good position to speak on this, as he isco-spokesperson for the Main Injector Neutrino OscillationSearch MINOS experiment, which is one of only a few thatcan independently verify the original OPERA results. MINOS did infact see several neutrinos back in 2007 thatseemed to be moving faster than light, but dismissed the findingsbecause the margin of error was too high. Still, Plunkett remainsskeptical of the OPERA claims and said it would take six to ninemonths before his collaboration will be able to verify orcontradict the findings.
