The experimental evidence for possible faster than light neutrinos arriving in Italy from CERN in Switzerland raises some logical points.
1) If neutrinos travel faster than light how could they be seen at all by sub-light speed beings or their measurements?
2) Is the speed of light measured correctly? There are some variable speed of light theorists out there.
3) Could the actual speed of light be less than absolutely precise? Could it have values rather like pi at the high end that are difficult to measure and give accurate values to that accumulate for neutrinos over enough distance to make them seem faster than ordinary particles or photons measured?
4) If photons exist as fundamental particles in an electromagnetic field, would neutrinos that do not behave the same way?
5) Would photons and neutrinos have the same spin characteristics, and could quantum qualities of each wave-particle slightly alter it travel characteristics through different mediums?
6) If space-time is discrete instead of continuous, and if all matter-energy exists as a discrete field with minute spacing in various scaffolds or structures could neutrinos skip across those possible small dimensions and shortcut to faster arrival times than other particles that exist with different space-time quantum foam dimensional field relationships.
7) Even if neutrinos arrive faster than the speed of light it might not require that they would actually have a faster intrinsic speed than photons.
