A very simple solution to the OPERA neutrino velocity problem

TL;DR

This paper explains that the OPERA neutrino velocity anomaly is due to gravitational effects within relativity, not faster-than-light travel, providing a simple resolution to the apparent discrepancy.

Contribution

It offers a straightforward explanation within relativity for the OPERA neutrino results, clarifying the misunderstanding about superluminal neutrino speeds.

Findings

Neutrino speed measurements are consistent with the speed of light when gravitational effects are considered.

The apparent superluminal velocities are caused by gravitational field influences, not actual faster-than-light travel.

The interpretation of OPERA results is clarified within established physical theory.

Abstract

Scientists from the OPERA experiment have measured neutrinos supposedly travelling at a velocity faster than light contrary to the theory of relativity. Even when the measurements are precise, the interpretation of this problem is being misunderstood. Here it is very easily solved and explained within the theory of relativity itself proving that neutrinos are not travelling faster than the speed of light and the early time arrival is due to the the presence of a gravitational field.
