Experiments conducted in Europe in September and November appeared to show neutrinos violating Einstein's theory of special relativity. But now scientists suspect it could be a faulty measurement caused by bad connection.

There had been discussions on this board previously that neutrinos violated Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Now it appears the previous tests conducted were faulty.
So, Einstein theory is safe for now! Neutrinos faster than light has been debunked, or so they say.
Not sure if this story has been posted here already but if so, please disregard. If not, this requires some comments, at least.

And indeed, in November, another group of physicists also working at Gran Sasso Laboratory demonstrated that the neutrinos in question could not possibly have been traveling faster than light, because if they had, they would have given off a telltale type of radiation, which was not detected.

So basically you have a theoretic prediction of tell tale events based on a theory of theory... Did I get that right?
Now since light itself is both wave AND particle, we already have all sorts of matter zipping around the Universe at light speedsedit on 24-2-2012 by zorgon because: (no reason given)

Oh sorry that was meant to be a reply to Zorgon, It's been a long day, lol. I try and get into the discussions as much as possible but limited access to wifi ( I drive OTR ) and the mass amount of "I'm the King of the Aliens" and " The Earth is Flat" it's hard. I will dive into the Thread you linked though. Thanks

It's physics, it's not something so easily explained. I went to a conference because it sounded interesting, and at the start the speaker said "If you are not a physicist, or currently studying physics, you will be lost a lot of the time but we will do our best to try and included everyone" Kind of Condescending yep, but he was completely right.
I Sat there in Glossy eyed confusion for a good 45 minutes of the hour long lecture. That is exactly why I'm back in school, because I couldn't fully engage it what I was hearing. Unless your a Physicist, or very well versed in it a lot of what dictates the results will sound like crap.
And you must have missed the "Faster" then Light part of the article. Nothing except for this result, has show in any conclusive way that FASTER then light travel is possible.
Thus, there is a correlation between the results of measurements performed on entangled pairs, and this correlation is observed even though the entangled pair may have been separated by arbitrarily large distances.[8]
