The Mythical Tunnel Between CERN and Central Italy

fph il quozientatore writes "Mariastella Gelmini, the Italian minister of Public Education and Scientific Research, complimented the researchers for the recent (supposed) discovery of faster-than-light neutrinos. Her press release mentions that Italy funded the construction of a 'tunnel between the CERN [in Geneva] and Gran Sasso [the labs in Central Italy].' Google maps reports the distance between the two labs as over 900km — but of course once the tunnel is open to traffic the trip will be much faster."

Future tunnel

He was speaking of the future tunnel that the faster than light neutrino's already know about so they can follow it.

There's still the problem of all those pesky particles flying at high speed down the center stripe.

Oh, and the best part is that you'll never see it coming.

Have you heard the joke about the faster than light neutrino?

Did the neutrino have to pay for the drink, or did he get it free of charge?
