Let's just say the chances of an experimental error are staggeringly larger than the overturning of the theory of relativity. That said, no doubt the scientists at CERN have been doing their hardest to prove themselves wrong before publication, so it's going to be interesting. I've always thought that if conventional notions of time travel apply, that is to say you can head back in time to a historical period in your own time dimension, then by now we should have had a visitor from the future. If future visitors can't really communicate ever or offer evidence of their existence then afaics time travel is kind of useless. Lack of any proof from the future so far means that at no point in time in the future will there be an authorized or rogue time traveler who lets the past know of the future. That said, I wish it is possible, it is kind of exciting to imagine...
