Sadly, the evidence does seem to point in that direction. I don't detect any rationality in placing a web page in a directory entitled "news-of-interest-to-white-people." It would be a lot more humorous if such things didn't have serious consequences.
Linking to the original news report of the CERN neutrino experiment raises a big "not paying attention" flag.
Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile, Apple didn't invent the GUI, Darwin purposely expedited The Origin of Species because he knew Wallace was ready to publish. These things happen this way sometimes. If Einstein's reputation is your life's big problem, you're living pretty darned good!

Would it matter at all if a committee of the world's physics community had jointly agreed upon the theory? People slag Einstein when they really want to say there is a global conspiracy to make the relativistic corrections to GPS fit it. By stating the plagarism is relevant you implicitly accept the theory has value.
You should have left it that way, I get logged at work for trying to visit hate sites.
"HubPages Helps Everyday Experts Publish & Earn"
HubPages
It's a content farm, certainly not something I'd want to be "associated" with, or link to. Articles get written and posted based on using the right keywords for Google. If the content has value as far as being good or correct information, well that's just an added bonus, but not important to the site's business model.
Yes, the article contains several errors. I can't quite see the point of it. Those who get their information from 'everyday experts' (self-publicists?) are likely to be confused and misinformed, while sadly remaining oblivious to this situation.
Guys I've deleted a number of posts, Lets please stop the discussions of racism. Whilst it is an important topic it is not appropriate at diyAudio.
Look at this long list of people Einstein didn't give credit to.

How bout that Leibniz guy when Newton got all the glory?
By the time I turned twenty six, I had been doing a doctorate-level experiential investigation of alcohol consumption. Unfortunately, it was the exact same research that millions of others had done over the centuries, and I didn't get any credit for it.

I've tried to explain it hundreds of times over 30 years, many times over and over to the same people, that I believe in a modified Larmor-Lorentz theory (Herbert Ives' term) where the Lorentz transformations are asymmetric (ie. v = velocity relative to the aether) and for gravity, Eric Baird's aether density gradient theory, not curved space. I've said this numerous times on this forum, too. Read all of the twin paradox related arguments that were published for over a hundred years.
According to Michio Kaku:
"Their neutrinos traveled at precisely the speed of light, not faster or slower."
Is this also an impossible result? I thought according to special relativity, nothing can go as fast as the speed of light except light itself.

No it's not, and you've demonstrated again that you don't understand the theory that you criticize.
As neutrinos have some mass, they won't travel at c, but very very very slightly slower. Only massless particles can travel at c, and they can only travel at c; all massless particles, not just photons.
Kaku writes for the public in public understandable terms. I am sure he is fully aware of the small mass of a neutron. You can't go and make the fine distinctions in a two paragraph news story. BillyJoeBob, BobbyTylerLee, and their good friend Earl won't understand it.
I did hear that Kaku is an actual scientist, so it bothers me that he would do that. Anyway, I always thought he was a bit, um... well, after seeing and reading a little of his stuff, I've preferred to get my science information elsewhere. Hearing this just nails the coffin shut.
I'm reminded of the quote, attributed to I-forget-who, that "Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, But Not Simpler"

Kaku is a real scientist, but these days he seems to spend as much time writing popular books and appearing on TV as he does actually doing science. Maybe he has a good team of postdocs and postgrads to do all the work?
