Is this any more likely to be true than the FTL-neutrinos?
First: Is what likely to be true? The quantitative result of the experiment, or their interpretation of it?
Second: Sounds like you noticed that one of the two scientists is affiliated with Gran Sasso? They have recently acquired a reputation of jumping the gun at times. (Okay, cheap shot.)
Third: It would be something of a surprise if two scientists with a relatively simple apparatus were to make a discovery that would overshadow even the anticipated discovery of the Higgs particle at LHC. Is it likely that there is still low-hanging fruit of this size in physics?
