    “Dès lors que les expériences peuvent reprendre, en quelques jours, les physiciens auront la réponse définitive sur les effets liés à ces branchements et à l’horloge de synchronisation”, indique Stavros Katsanevas. Si les neutrinos “ralentissent” et se remettent alors dans le rang de la physique, il restera à Opera le titre de “meilleure mesure de la vitesse des neutrinos”. Pas si mal. Mais loin du Nobel.
