Should take it with a grain of salt, as it hasn't been confirmed yet, but if this is true, this is HUGE news  :o

Finding a superluminal particle is a great feat indeed, but I have a bad feeling about tests like this. Everything about LHC makes me mad.

Well, shit.

Read this earlier, if this is true, that's kinda awesome.. Makes you wonder what Einstein missed :P

Well, it's not like there weren't a number of problems with the special theory of relativity as it stands.  ::)

But yeah, if this particular case was in a vacuum, this is great news(which is what I'm assuming).

Though it's not like particles exhibiting superluminal speeds under certain conditions hasn't already been accomplished.

And of course, in theory, tachyonic particles, which is what this is about. Tachyonic neutrinos..
