Initial findings paint a handful of muon neutrinos going at warp 1.06. Maybe.
My gut is that they'll never replicate it. But... Well. If it's real, physics is about to get really, really interesting.

Re: Zoom?
I'm guessing they'll find a reason, but reading the paper they've been pretty thorough in their analysis and there's plenty of peer review. Still, if they are going faster than light then, uh, there's a LOT we've got seriously wrong in our understanding...

Re: Zoom?
Well, maybe. There are some possible ways, especially where neutrinos are involved - but you have to answer why our generated neutrinos are going FTL, but a supernova's blast doesn't. I am glad that their response was: "Hey guys, we can't figure out anything wrong with this, break it, please?"
