If so, they would clearly be able to validate their setup at lower energy levels, don't you think? I suspect a solution to this problem is going to have to come from the insiders, or someone else repeating the results. BTW, I assume the OPERA people plotted speed vs. energy?

But what if the neutrinos are really traveling faster (or very much faster) than the speed of light and the detector is picking up their energy state in the past? Just a thought.

It doesn't take much of a stretch to wonder if the mass might also oscillate to a negative value, at which point it would in all be travelling faster than light... This is about where my usefulness on the subject ends though... I find it interesting that you referred to it as "imaginary mass", as opposed to "negative"... Could "imaginary mass" mean that the neutrino's mass is somehow leaving the universe or something? Yes, Neutrinos are known to have oscillating mass, accompanied by changes in velocity…

Could “imaginary mass” mean that the neutrino’s mass is somehow leaving the universe or something?

Could it be that neutrino velocity is not a constant? David Maker is proposing that neutrinos have imaginary mass, and therefore light speed velocity in flat space, but superluminal velocity in a gravitational field.
