Hey /sci/, I was reading this article about CERN's speed of light findings getting confirmed by another experiment (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15791236)), and I now I'm feeling a bit indignant. You see, two years ago in my second semester introductory trig-based physics lab one of our labs was to experimentally confirm the speed of light. Well, long story short, I came up with an answer that was slightly higher than the real speed of light. My SEM was only 12%, yet my lab instructor gave me a "C" on that lab.

Anyway, there's no use whining about that now because I can't change my grade after this long, but I was wondering how I can seek out credit for this discovery seeing as how I was the first one who made it. I still have my lab notebook and all the worksheets and everything too, so I can prove I carried out the experiment.

You deserved that C. Don't kid yourself, you didn't prove fuck all. You just did the lab incorrectly.

You didn't even read the article did you troll?

How was that at all humourous?

This, unless your lab was measuring neutrinos.
These findings aren't claiming that photons move faster than c, and if you proved that it would be a whole different shitstorm.

lol very funny OP
