Very exciting stuff. BTW if you haven’t seen it:

THIS. on replay.

Edit: BTW, if you don’t already know. Both ATLAS and CMS found an excess of about 124-125 GeV, which may very well be the mass of the Higgs boson. Exciting stuff! But it was almost given that they would find something. Otherwise, our laws of physics would have to be rewritten :o

If nutrinos do in fact travel faster than the speed of light, we will be anyway 🙂. There are many out there that believe the Theory of Relativity to be bunk. I’m not one of them, but I was wrong once before. I just did it to see how it felt 🙂
