Faster-than-light neutrinos could be down to bad wiring

What might have been the biggest physics story of the past century may instead be down to a faulty connection.

If true… sad, but hardly surprisingly.

No, check that. This *does* surprise me a bit. Not that there would be an issue with the instruments, but that the scientists would have staked their reputations on such a remarkable claim without having done a sufficiently complete evaluation of their system.

Sounds like someone may get their ass handed to ’em.
