And not transmit information ? I simply don't get the logic. If you could send neutrinos to a receiver and the receiver would register the fact that neutrinos are being sent, what would be the problem of simply switching the neutrino beam on and off ? Then you'd start with something like Morse Code and build from there to a whole binary system like color TV.

My first guess is that this might be a sign that photons have a small mass. My second is that neutrinos have some some weird physics which let them move faster than light but not transmit information, thus saving relativity. But I haven't read enough to know anything useful.
