If you're spellbound by this, as I am, there will be a live webcast tomorrow in which CERN will be discussing the findings in the report. You can watch it here:

Thanks for the info. Do you know at what time?

Apparently the neutrinos were fired a distance of 500 miles, and traveled that distance 60 nanoseconds faster that light would have taken. It's not much, but it's still faster.

Calibration error should have given no more than 10 nanoseconds. That's why the team is worried and asking other team to verify their findings.
