Chang Kee Jung, a neutrino physicist at Stony Brook University in New York, says he’d wager that the result is the product of a systematic error. “I wouldn’t bet my wife and kids because they’d get mad,” he says. “But I’d bet my house.”
Yes, but what would he want as the opposing wager? I’ll gladly put up a cent (or, for that matter, $10,000,000,000,000 ZWR) against his house, while I wouldn’t consider betting $10,000.
