What? The word of Einstein must never be questioned. Ever. These heretics must be excommunicated from Science.

But seriously, should these results be replicated this is f**king awesome. This is potential Nobel Prize material.

Oh, if these results are replicated, this is definite Nobel Prize material.  But I laud the researchers in question for reiterating in every interview that I've seen that this is only preliminary and really really really needs to be replicated and all the other possible sources of error dealt with before we start coping with the consequences.

The curious part of the OPERA observation is that MINOS at Fermilab should have the data to confirm or refute the claim. I'm waiting to see the official paper to see why one might see it but not the other.

I was hoping you'd chime in Smiley
