Of course we can't harness it yet, or even possibly ever, however, if what they say is in fact true, it literally goes against the laws of physics, warping the knowledge of everything that is based on the speed of light, purely based on the potential that it is indeed possible to exceed the speed of light. The very way we conceptualise these facts and figures could change from these experiments.
Physics is amazing.
BTW time travel is possible, although only into the future, experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have proved that certain elements that travel
near the speed of light will disintegrate ever so slightly slower than under normal conditions, because matter slows down, or should slow down near the speed of light as to not exceed it. In all, time travel to the future should be possible as long as we travel near enough to the speed of light. That is, unless this new discovery changes everything...
