Question 7

In 2011, scientists reported on an experiment in which neutrinos appeared to travel faster than light. This result was remarkable because it violates Einstein's theory of special relativity, which has been a cornerstone of our understanding of physics since 1905.
What is the appropriate scientific approach for dealing with this contradiction?

A. Ignore the new data because it contradicts Einstein's idea B. Change the new data to show speeds lower than the speed of light C. Abandon Einstein's theory because it has been proven invalid D. Check the experimental setup and try to replicate the results
