NYT: 

The physics world is abuzz with news that a group of European physicists plans 
to announce Friday that it has clocked a burst of subatomic particles known as 
neutrinos breaking the cosmic speed limit — the speed of light — that was set 
by Albert Einstein in 1905.

If true, it is a result that would change the world. But that “if” is enormous.

Even before the European physicists had presented their results — in a paper 
that appeared on the physics Web site arXiv.org on Thursday night and in a 
seminar atCERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research, on Friday — a chorus 
of physicists had risen up on blogs and elsewhere arguing that it was way too 
soon to give up on Einstein and that there was probably some experimental 
error. Incredible claims require incredible evidence.
