Here is a recent interview with a spokesman for CERN
CERN Explains The Big Fuss Over 'Neutrino' Findings
On the assumption that this proves out, which I understand is in doubt, I am wondering why it is that this would change so many things.
It doesn't change the actual speed of light so if something is 100 billion light years away that doesn't change. If we are measuring the age of the universe it is based on the speed of light so why should that change?
Is there someone who can explain this in terms that someone who took a 3 month course on Newtonian Physics in High School in 1960 can understand?

End of an Era
I wonder where we would be now in the world of physics if the SSC in Texas had been completed.
