I looked up another article, and it says the neutrinos are going at "60 nanoseconds" faster than light should be going, that's a pretty big amount considering just how scarily accurate we can measure the speed of light to.
I'd say I'm surprised and that this is batpomegranate insane, but as anyone who has studied any quantum mechanics could tell you, the fact that I think it's crazy means absolutely nothing.
Boy, if this turns out to be true, out the window goes so much of classical physics. Damn you QM, damn you.
Just out of interest, are you aware just how much of physics relies on the idea that the speed of light is an unbreakable limit? if this is true, this is a serious holy pomegranate moment for a an awful lot of high energy physics, anything to do with relativity, and several other areas of physics will all need to be improved on to take this into account
