Italian physicists can’t decide whether neutrinos travelled faster than light. They ran into three problems with their measurements: one, because of relativity the damn neutrinos keep arriving before they left; two, the Greek holding the stopwatch keeps going on break; and three, Obama made them use neutrinos made out of algae.

The only physics Obama believes in is The Law of Conversation.

Tax the neutrinos to slow them down! It’s not fair that they go faster than other sub-atomic particles!

That’s one thing about Mussolini, he made the neutrinos run on time.

Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week. Be sure to try the soup de jour.

Too late. The soup de jour was served by a neutrino waiter yesterday.

meh we’re all here chatting because of a dude at CERN. Maybe he wasn’t Italian (huzzah England!), but I respect European science and its place in Western Civ

Yeah, it’s CERN, but the end where they hold the stopwatch is controlled by Italians. I don’t know why. Maybe when they were done dividing up jobs the Italians were still standing there, so they said, “Uh, why don’t you guys go stand at the end where the particle beam collides and radiation is flying off in every direction. It’s safe, trust us. And hold this stopwatch.”

Actually , nothing in Italy’s cuisine is Italien except maybe the fish and cheese. Pasta from China, tomatoes, corn meal and potatoes from our side of the world.

An empty cab pulled up…and a neutrino stepped out.

Then the cab pulled away going backward.

Put headlights on ‘em, and ask if they can see where they’re going.

Don’t be diffused – it’s relatively simple.

haha! i remembered this one and looked up (wish i made it up):
“We don’t allow faster-than-light neutrinos in here”, said the Bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar.

Heisenberg is stopped by a traffic cop who asks: “Do you know how fast you were going?”
Heisenberg replies: “No, but I know exactly where I am.”

The thing is, the relativity theory and the big bang are no longer scientific theories but a faith, a religion without divinities.
They will come up with any and all excuses to pretend those horses are still alive, when they have been crawling with maggots years before this affair.

Seems to me (and I could be remembering wrong) that Einstein once said he hoped his THEORIES were proven wrong, as it meant science was still moving ahead…..or something like that.
Tried looking up the quote, but there is a LOT of Einstein out there to go through.

At the same time he was very dismissive af anyone who challenged his theories!

From memory here so I am paraphrasing.
Einstein: God does not play dice with the Universe.
Bohr: Only Einstein would tell God what he could do with his dice.
