I'm no physicist, however this is bugging me.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15017484<p>The CERN experiment has bothered myself. Maybe because I'm uneducated in the field however this is how I feel:<p>Time as we know can be stopped, time as we know can be traveled back and fro into. However, time as we know is simply a measurement of results. Results from impulsive and undefined actions from participants in life.<p>Proving that we can travel faster than light may prove we can time travel, I feel it merely proves we can bend a measurement of life. The ability to travel and arrive at a destination not in a negative amount of time but in an amount of time we can not measure in our current capacity.

Interesting subject. Time allows us to measure results. Not the other way around.<p>Our consciousness cannot experience time going backwards. Time travel to the experiencer, would happen in +ve time for him/her.<p>Also, even if those neutrino speed measurements stand true, travelling back in time should still be an impossibility.<p>What is it about the experiment, that bothers you?

You might find Paul Borrill's talk given in Stanford's EE380 of interest. <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/permlinks/Borrill.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/permlinks/Borrill.html</a>
