Keppler is starting to produce 'goldilocks zone' results.
At the same time, we have the current apparent ftl behavior of the neutrino experiment.....which still seems to be holding up well enough that Fermi and at least one other lab are in the process of replicating the experiment (yes, there are lots of theories why it can't be happening...but as one scientist has pointed out, no one has yet -proved- that it isn't happening, found the math error yet to be corrected, or the McGuffin the the experiement or equipment that is throwing everything out the window. Like the last nay-say, where it was shown that superluminal neutrino's are supposed to shed energy as electron/positron pairs....which these superluminals aren't doing. But then to date, no one has ever =seen= a true superluminal neutrino, so no one can say exactly what they would do.....just what the math suggests they will do to keep the math happy). If it turns out that these neutrinos are going superluminal without an insane amount of energy or focused gravity, then every bit of math built up on the rigid interpretation of 'c' goes in the crapper....
Interesting juxtaposition of disparate yet related events, isn't it?
Maybe someone is telling us to stop studying the lint in our navels and wailing about it, and start looking outward like the explorers we truly are....
Wonder if you can get an unlimited interstellar plan for a smartphone?
