Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Results Was a Loose Cable

Whoops! I hate to say I told you so but it looks like the reports last year of neutrinos that traveled 60ns faster than the speed of light were an anomaly caused by some fiber optic cable that wasn't properly plugged in.

I suppose it says something about the sensitivity required for these kinds of experiments!
