I believe I am more skeptical than the average educated person about press releases claiming some fundamental facet of physics is wrong. But I would happily bet $1 against $10,000,000 that they have, indeed, observed neutrinos going faster than the currently understood speed of light.
Taken! Paypal address?
I'd rather do it through an avenue other than Paypal, since I give odds near unity that if I won, Paypal would freeze my account before I could withdraw the $10 million. Also, considering that less than .01% of the world's population has access to $10 million USD in a reasonably liquid form, there's some counterparty risk.
But, IIRC, you're confident you have the resources to produce a subplanetary mass of paperclips within a few decades, so let's do it!
Oh, sorry, I was confused and thought you were offering the bet the other way around.
I apologize for being ambiguous; I should have been more clear that 10^-8 was way too low. Hopefully you weren't counting on those resources for manufacturing paperclips.
Sadly I'm not in possession of even 10^8 cents, so I can't make this bet.
If you have a bitcoin address, the smallest subdivision of a bitcoin against 1 bitcoin (historically, 1 bitcoin has been worth somewhere within $10 of $10) would do the tric.
