Scientists at the world's largest physics lab outside Geneva said they have clocked neutrinos travelling faster than light.

If true, this is some mind-bending stuff right here! Anyone with a better grasp of advanced physics than I care to comment?
Speed of Light broken?
Re: Speed of Light broken?
Oh well, back to the drawing board
Re: Speed of Light broken?
Clearly, everyone knows that neutrinos never had any respect for the law.

Time to rule the galaxy......
Woo-hoo, we can shoot things faster than the speed of light, all the better to hit you with.
What can you do with a single neutrino at a time? Shoot someone (stay still while I charge my 300km long gun....)
Neh, I suppose as technology get's better it may apply to other things.

I'll be waiting for verification by other labs before I jump on any "Einstein's Special Relativity was wrong!" bandwagon.
Re: Speed of Light broken?
Neutrinos are a very special type of particle. Wouldnt really be surprised if they actually can break the speed of light.

The scientists who "discovered" it admit they think they must have made a mistake.
