Chodos replies: One must be careful. The history of science is littered with examples of ideas that people dismissed as manifestly absurd, only to find in due course that Nature disagreed. Whether neutrinos travel faster than light is an experimental question. If the OPERA result is wrong, as it now appears to be, neutrinos may still be superluminal, just not at as high a level as the parts per 10−5 that OPERA claimed. That is the meaning of my “odd comment” to which Nauenberg refers.
