CERN: Light Speed May Have Been Exceeded By Subatomic Particle:

"It is "a revolutionary discovery if confirmed," said Indiana University theoretical physicist Alan Kostelecky, who has worked on this concept for a quarter of a century.

Stephen Parke, who is head theoretician at the Fermilab near Chicago and was not part of the research, said: "It's a shock. It's going to cause us problems, no doubt about that – if it's true.""

However, there are a number of controversial "quantum reality" theories that depend on such results. This could get very interesting.
