He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> With co-author Aradhya P. Kumar, Sakk posted &quot;A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos&quot; to arXiv in February 2012. The paper argues that apparent superluminal neutrino times-of-flight need not violate special relativity. Sakk and Kumar propose that, at very small scales, spacetime takes on a Kerr-type metric, so that strong frame-dragging effects near the Planck length compress the effective path length a neutrino traverses relative to what a large-scale observer would expect. They attribute the microscopic path-length compression to the formation of &quot;micro-wormholes&quot; near the Planck scale and frame the effect as evidence in support of, rather than a contradiction of, general relativity at quantum scales. The proposal lies outside the scientific mainstream, and the original OPERA measurement was subsequently traced to instrumental error.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.5560 &quot;A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos&quot; (arXiv)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Sakk Eric]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
