Scientist Who Oversaw OPERA's Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Study Resigns 186
New submitter Big Hairy Ian writes with this news from the BBC:
"The head of an experiment that appeared to show subatomic particles traveling faster than the speed of light has resigned from his post. Prof Antonio Ereditato oversaw results that appeared to challenge Einstein's theory that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light. Reports said some members of his group, called OPERA, had wanted him to resign. Earlier in March, a repeat experiment found that the particles, known as neutrinos, did not exceed light speed."

I did. I will tender my Slashdot resignation immediately. The editors should get to it in 5-10 years.

I'm sorry but all I read from your post is:
The.. mainstream media,... who write articles regarding advanced scientific topics,... [are] a good thing.

When everything around you makes sense as a conspiracy theory ... it really is time to cut back on the weed.
