    It looks like the 60 ns anomaly in the time of flight of neutrinos from CERN to Gran Sasso was due to a faulty fiber optics cable. The new was announced in "Science" magazine and should be confirmed today.

        There is another phenomenon to be checked, a clock synchronization which was not perfect. They are working on it too. Science is a trial and error process, not many people understand this.
