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…
