Who Do These Scientists Think They Are?

More crazy deniers challenging established theories:
Scientists at CERN, the world’s largest physics lab, announced a startling finding yesterday that would be enough to make Albert Einstein roll over in his grave: Subatomic particles, called neutrinos, have been found to be traveling faster than the speed of light.
If true, this development would break a fundamental pillar of physics. Einstein’s special theory of relativity has always told us nothing is supposed to move faster than the speed of light, 299,792,458 meters per second.
CERN scientists are now asking others to verify the measurements before claiming the discovery to be true.
How quaint! Somebody obviously forgot to tell these so-called physicists that real science operates via consensus, not experimentation, observation and replication.
