If it turns out that neutrinos do travel at faster than lightspeed, how will the success of special relativity be explained?
As per in the title. If it turns out that neutrinos do travel faster than the speed of light, how will the success of special relativity be explained? My apologies if this has been asked before; I've ...

What fundamental principles or theories are required by modern physics? [closed]
We have been taught that speed of light is insurmountable but as we know an experiment recently tried to show otherwise.
If the experiment did turn out to be correct and confirmed by others, would ...

What happened to the idea of tachyonic or other superluminal neutrinos?
While hunting around for information about the recent OPERA measurement that hints at superluminal neutrinos, I discovered that this idea was actually considered back in the 1980s. Wikipedia lists as ...

If tachyons existed, would we modify the theory of relativity?
In relativity tachyons cannot exist and they are theoretically viewed as objects with imaginary mass according to relativity, but since tachyons violate relativity, why do we use this theory to ...

The relation between the speed of light and the Big Bang Theory
I would like to know how much of the Big Bang theory is dependent on the constancy of the speed of light.
P.S.: It might be guessed that I am asking this because of the recent CERN news.
Yes, of ...
