Tachyonic neutrinos?

[scott_sanford]

According to this article, CERN has measured a neutrino beam at a whisker above lightspeed. However, this is the media, which does not have a good track record for accuracy, particularly when the implications are large. As pointed out in the comments, a 0.00246% measurement error may be all that is needed to explain this, although no such error has been found yet. Stay tuned.

Cheating Neutrinos

[cpuguy1.livejournal.com]

Read one artical about the faster than light Neutrinos ... later in the day I also saw a possible explaination to how it might have happened. MAYBE ... somehow the neutrinos in question, took a short cut from the emitter to the reciever. If they were suppose to be traveling in a straight path. The shortest path. How can adding any more distance to the shortest path, be a short cut?
Smart Neutrinos, too.
