EPTPhysics kids at the universty claim that neutrinos have always been able to violate natural laws because the really do not exist, or we cannot percieve them. Or I shouldn't listen to my roomate
Taken from the BBC website
Neutrinos sent through the ground from Cern toward the Gran Sasso laboratory 732km away seemed to show up a tiny fraction of a second early.
The result - which threatens to upend a century of physics - will be put online for scrutiny by other scientists.
In the meantime, the group says it is being very cautious about its claims.
"We tried to find all possible explanations for this," said report author Antonio Ereditato of the Opera collaboration.
"We wanted to find a mistake - trivial mistakes, more complicated mistakes, or nasty effects - and we didn't," he told BBC News.
"When you don't find anything, then you say 'Well, now I'm forced to go out and ask the community to scrutinise this."

Edit: Did some further research into the Japanese research facilites on the reasearch of these muon neutrinos

Some other press releases from CERN: http://press.web.cern.ch/press/PressReleases/Releases2010/PR08.10E.html
I have no idea what this means, I should update this is the information the Japanese experiment has garnered, but I only have an interest in physics if somebody could describe what is in this, it would be much appreciated. :

Edit 2: It may have actually been Gran Sasso working on this project in conjucture with CERN, or they were relaying information, its not quite clear.

This new program is called OPER (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus)
Edit 3: It seems to all come from this guys blog post, which has since been taken down, and what do you know, he has since taken the information off. Here is the google cache of what he said.

Edit number 4: Somebody found a more scientific article for those of you who dislike sensationalist main stream papers. (Thanks ArcMan)

ALSO, CERN is having a press conference tomorrow to annouce their findings which got leaked, time is tomorrow 16:00 to 18:00 CET, which is 10:00 AM EST (Thanks Gullberg)
