One-billionth of a second. The neutrinos aren't smashing the light-speed limit, they're tip-toeing over the line.
Sounds to me like an extremely marginal technical error married with glory-seeking self-promotion veiled as peer review (which is why all the hubbub in mainstream media and not journals).
The most likely scientific possibility, if the experiment was not flawed (which I think most likely) is that the particles are not really moving faster than light but taking some sort of shortcut that transcends motion as we know it.
But I'm not Joklem...and we will see.
What I want to know if Joklem knows: is there a fundamental reason extra-dimensional travel can't apply to larger-than-subatomic particles?

Idiot. Transwarp network technology is MUCH more promising.
