What to do with OPERA-II event by event neutrino information?
I was thinking, as an experimentalist, what OPERA (experimental collaboration) should now do, since they have 20 event by event neutrinos — gift just one of that to the world. That neutrino should have the complete information one needs to compare with a photon. eg the total satellite motion — its path for about a…

Haversine formula and Vincenty formula, millimeter accuracy for earth distances
I propose Haversine formula for exposition of material reg. distances on earth. Vincenty’s formula calculates distances to millimeter order. Bowring and Lambert’s formula are easier than Vincenty’s but do not have good accuracy especially if distances on earth are quite large. You should know spherical earth formula, all the other formula mentioned here are oblate-sphere…

How time dilation on GPS clocks is induced by static and spinning earth observations.
The image above shows earth at an altitude of 20200 + 9.08 km. The red line I drew is a straight line of 696 km, 3-D straight line — perhaps non-Euclidean, near the CERN – Gran Sasso Baseline, parallel to the latter, which is not straight and about 733 km long. — Isn’t that a…

full moon and gauge theory
This is called a gauge symmetry and gauge transformation since the additional functions are called gauge functions. This helps tremenedously since this unifies electric and magnetic fields into just one force field called the electromagnetic field. This then helps in theory of Relativity and theory of relativity is a unification of electric and magnetic fields…

we do not need baselines to measure if neutrinos break photon speed limit or not
In that case ALL neutrino experiments are capable of studying speed and energy behavior of neutrinos at a desired level of precision for both speed and energy.
