Upon news that the faster than light neutrinos actually were maybe just a teeny bit slower, as in not actually faster than light, I was forced to scrap the epic science fiction novel I was totally writing that hinged upon these supposedly faster than light neutrinos and which was going to make me freaking rich (the novel, not the neutrinos, which I have not yet figured out to how monetize, even after building my own particle accelerator using empty cardboard toiler paper tubes and the light fixture from from my refrigerator).

Apparently, the new explanation hinges less on super awesome, faster than light particles and more on faulty wiring.

On the other hand, while I was unable to replicate the original experiment, I am pretty confident of my ability to replicate bad wiring.
