| Criterion | OPERA: the faster-than-light interpretation did not survive |
|---|---|
| Overall claim grade | F 18/100 |
| Claim examined | The approximately 60 ns early-arrival anomaly in OPERA's September 2011 preprint represented muon neutrinos traveling faster than light. |
| Claim support40% weight | 0/5 Corrected and new measurements were consistent with light-speed propagation within their uncertainties. [2, 3] |
| Methods & controls20% weight | 1/5 An inadequately controlled timing chain generated the anomaly under review. Precision alone did not protect the inference. [2, 5] |
| Independent checks20% weight | 0/5 Independent ICARUS timing did not confirm the early arrival; OPERA's improved setup also did not reproduce it. [3, 4] |
| Transparency10% weight | 4/5 Versioned preprints and published follow-up measurements expose the changed conclusion. [1–3] |
| Claim calibration10% weight | 3/5 The result was publicly presented as an anomaly requiring scrutiny, although its nominal significance exceeded the warranted physical certainty. [1, 5] |
| Evidence status | Corrected |
