RE: Neutrinos go faster than light
Even if time travel into the future is possible, and i'm not talking about seconds, since it can, and has been done. I'm talking about years, days, etc. What would be the point of it? You can travel in-to the future, but at the cost of never returning to your original time.
There is no way to time travel back in time, like robert said. Speed = time basically. The faster you go, the farther in time. Where as you can't go reverse with "Speed", or in the negatives, basically eliminating the thought of ever going back in time.

What about them wormholes?

Tuchea there Mr. Yottabyte.
Problem there is its a whole new ball game, involving the fourth dimension.

It didn't move into the future, time just passed slower for it so it "lost" 20 nanoseconds.
Also: this does mean Einstein was wrong (if it turns out to be true), but it doesn't "just mean Einstein was wrong", this means everything we think we know about the universe works is wrong. Physics may as well just start over.
If this turns out to be true, me may as well have just discovered the sun does not orbit the earth.

Someone on the earth can't really decide what is the future and what is the past in the universe. Time is a very strange thing, innit?

Actually no. In the mid 20th century, Robert Maxwell stated that everything we knew about physics had been discovered and proven. Not ten years passed before we stepped into an age of Einstein's quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. It is not true that the laws of physics have been redefined or proven to wrong. What is true, is that our knowledge of it expanded, thereby potentially disproving certain stuff we know, or think we know, but is massively different from what actually is true.
Enjoy New_Grand.

Sum it all up by saying it's revolutionary times we live in, the technological singularity is closing in... beware of Skynet or HAL 9000

General relativity and quantum (not Einstein btw) were around before the middle of last century. And it is that they (special relativity) have been proven wrong, that is exactly what has happened here. General relativity revolves around the idea that nothing can move faster than the speed of light. This isn't a hiccup in a part of a theory: half of the standard model just got thrown out the window.

Yeeeeeah, have they recreated this effect yet? If so, holy cr*p, physics just got demolished.
