The only practical use for time travel is so that I can sleep in as long as I want, and still get to work on time :-)

Superluminal = Faster Than Light (my suggestion for an abbreviation is FTL). Second measurements at CERN appear to verify initial measures. Now we just have to find a couple of places in the world that can do this measurement. To my knowledge there are only two (could be my ignorance on this subject) such places: Fermilab in Chicago, which already performed a similar run and got similar results, but were not confident in their data because their measuring tools were not as precise as those at CERN;  they are now upgrading their equipment and should be able to verify within a year. The other facility is in Japan, but it's been out of commission since the earthquake and tsunami; could be a while before they're ready.
Meanwhile we wait with baited breath, pondering the implications.

Phone me tomorrow and I'll pick it up yesterday, or something :)
