The journals Science and Nature have reported that a loose connection may be responsible for the apparent superluminal speed of neutrinos coming from the CERN experiment, a result which was reported earlier this year. The 60-nanosecond discrepancy was met with great interest and no small degree of skepticism in the physics world, as it conflicts with Einstein's theory of relativity, which has been confirmed by many experiments over the past century.
The precise cause of the anomalous result is still being investigated ... standard protocol in these situations is to blame one of the undergrads.
