If it pans out, the next 10-20 years is gonna be exciting as ****.

I FINK THIS FITS. :3

YES XKCD! Love 'dat comic site. Like, legit, it's not only intelligent, it's friggin' hilarious.
Also, apparently they've been observing this with over 15,000 neutrino events, so it's pretty stable. A research lab in Illinois (Fermilab) got the same result a few years back, but they didn't have enough events registered to make it an actual scientific claim. The guys at CERN said they'd be running some more tests, but, with the red tape and all the time it'd take to do so, the results won't be in for about another 2-3 years. I'll be posting in and out of here with some more info on the event.
