Context:
According to Dr. Autiero’s team, neutrinos emanating from a particle accelerator at CERN, outside Geneva, had raced to a cavern underneath Gran Sasso in Italy — a distance of 454 miles — about 60 nanoseconds faster than it would take a light beam. That amounts to a speed greater than light by about
25 parts in a million.

yes, in other words barely faster than light, assuming everything was done correctly and every source of error or mismeasurement has been eliminated, which they certainly can't rule out yet.

I would like to take the result as a fascinating error... though inside I am eager to see our great Mr. Einstein's theory to be toppled.
