BTW: Just something to think about:
There are three quantities involved here, and most of the coverage
and quite a lot of physicists overlook that:
1. Speed of neutrinos
2. Speed of photons
3. Constant 'c' From relativity.
Until now the assumption have been that 2 = 3, but this is only
an assumption, based on the fact that we had no measurements that
said otherwise.
If 1 > 3, as most press-coverage seems to posit, because they forgot
the above is an assumption, then both the standardmodel and relativity
is in trouble.
If 3 >= 1 > 2, then only the standard model is in trouble, relativity
unaffected.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
