It seems that the particle neutrino breaks light-speed limit. This stands in sharp contradiction to Einstein's special theory of relativity and constants in nature.
- Nature: particles break light speed limit
WTF?
If neutrinos are travelling faster than light speed, then one of the most fundamental assumptions of science — that the rules of physics are the same for all observers — would be invalidated.Here are some links:

- original scientific paper written by CERN staff.
A German joke on that issue:
Der Barkeeper sagt: "Tut mir leid, wir bedienen keine Neutrinos, die schneller sind als das Licht." Ein Neutrino kommt in eine Bar.
