'Faster-Than-Light' Particles May Have Been Even Speedier -- CBC
Subatomic particles clocked at speeds exceeding the speed of light may have been going even faster than they appeared, physicists say.
A problem with some of the equipment used in the original experiment may have led to an overestimate of the time it took the particles, known as neutrinos, to make their 730-kilometre journey, reported CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in a statement Thursday.
As a result, their speed may have been underestimated.

CSN Editor: We will know the real answer in the next few months when more tests are done.
