If neutrinos are so difficult to detect - how does the FTL experiment manage to detect/measure them. If so, why are the other experiments around the world not "seeing" them ?

neutrinos ARE difficult to detect but we CAN detect them.

however, the frequency of detections is incredibly small. IIRC the FTL neutrino detections only picked up about 20 events. This would have been out of trillions of neutrinos sent.

There are several active neutrino detectors around the world. All of them pick up neutrinos.
Tired of waiting around for a reply on the forums? Use IRC, 'I don't know how' is no longer an excuse.

"Special" Relativity, stupid ideas seem smarter when they come at you really fast.
