RE: A final song for OPERA: 6 years of neutrino data, nice events and an exemplary open data policy
Fundamental physics is one of the pickiest field of science, I think. 0.05 is what we require to exclude an hypothesis (more or less). However, for claiming a discovery, 5 sigmas are in order (for the opera results, we are reaching 6.1 sigmas). But it is important to tune this in a field-dependent way :)
I keep reading this as 'picklest field of science.'
We also eat pickles... once in a while ;)
Pickle science!
