Usual sloppy reporting, or the sound of physics changing?


This report claims actual scientists at CERN appear to have found something  -- neutrinos -- exceeding the speed of light. Not by a huge amount (about 2.5 parts in 100,000 if I do my math right), but ANY amount is just not possible as we currently understand things.

Of course, knowing science reporting...

Good science involves trying to imagine everything you might have done wrong in getting your results.
