Reaching conclusions can be a short or a lengthy process, and sometimes the desire to reach a conclusion may be absent. However, even with a desire to reach a conclusion, the ability to do so may be missing; this inability does not just apply to ordinary people but also to people involved with governments and big businesses.

Those of you who have read the preface of Conclusions Volume I will remember my rash conclusion that Albert Einstein was wrong about the speed of light being the fastest in the Universe. When I published Conclusions Volume I, many scientists still believed subatomic particles known as neutrinos could outpace light. Now, a new experiment to repeat a test of the speed of neutrinos has established that they travel at the same speed as light.¹ This is a good example to remind us that we should avoid reaching rash conclusions, and, in this volume and in further future volumes of Conclusions, I will certainly endeavor to be more careful. 1 However, Icarus in Switzerland, Minos in the US, and T2K in Japan are still continuing their experiments to settle the neutrino-speed issue.
