The world of Physics will be turned upside down if this is true. From CERN, using measurments from a series of tests over the last three years a team of scientists have shown Neutrinos arriving 60 nanoseconds quicker than light could have.
Antonio Ereditato, a spokesman for the researchers said:
"We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently."

A total of 15,000 beams of neutrinos -- tiny particles that pervade the cosmos -- were fired over a period of 3 years from CERN towards Gran Sasso 730 (500 miles) km away, where they were picked up by giant detectors.
Light would have covered the distance in around 2.4 thousandths of a second, but the neutrinos took 60 nanoseconds -- or 60 billionths of a second -- less than light beams would have taken.
Admittedly, the difference is extremely small, but according to all current models the speed of light shouold be an absolute.
