23 September 2011The OPERA experiment announced that neutrinos could be faster than light.
23 September 2011The OPERA experiment announced that neutrinos could be faster than light.
Faster-than-light neutrinos
The OPERA result is based on the observation of over 15000 neutrino events measured at Gran Sasso, and appears to indicate that the neutrinos travel at a velocity 20 parts per million above the speed of light.

They observe a neutrino beam from CERN 730 km away
at Italy’s INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory.
Einstein’s special theory of relativity says
Anything having mass can not be faster than light(in vacuum).Anything having mass can not be faster than light(in vacuum).

If true, it is the biggest discovery in science.
This might be a violation of special relativity?
Same scientists claim that
Any other new theory behind that?
The experimental result has not been confirmed yet.
We need more evidence.

It is well-known that return distributions show heavy tail distributions.
Source of the heavy tail distributions?
One explanation of this evidence is the mixture of distributions hypothesis

ConclusionWe analyze the normality of standardized returns by using realized
volatilities in the two trading sessions of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Variance of standardized returns is largely affected by microstructure noise.
Kurtosis of standardized returns shows unexpected behavior: linear
dependence at lower frequency and rapid increase at high frequency
Linear dependence can be understood by
Finite size effect Discretization effect Finite size effect Discretization effect
Normality is recovered in the appropriate limit.
