Speedy neutrinos

Has the world of physics been shaken up? This image from the Wall Street Journal accompanies a story about the speed of ghostlike subatomic particles called neutrinos, which can pass through ordinary matter unaffected. Are they faster than the speed of light? They were in a six month experiment recently conducted from Switzerland to Italy. If backed up by future experiments, it could change the way scientists think about how the universe evolved, as well as the assumptions behind many of their calculations.
