Re: so why not just change the speed of light?

What I don't understand is why the speed of light is not adjusted to this new experimental result.
Maybe that has something to do with the speed of light being the speed of light rather than the speed of neutrinos.
If the result holds up, then it may tell us more about the nature of neutrinos than about the speed of light.
On the other hand, there is nothing sacred about relativity. It is, after all, a human construct intended to fit reality. The worst that could happen, is that we might find that it doesn't fit as well as had been assumed.
