From Cern website
Press release ATLAS and CMS experiments present Higgs search status 13 December 2011. In a seminar held at CERN1 today, the ATLAS2 and CMS3 experiments presented the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. Their results are based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs. The main conclusion is that the Standard Model Higgs boson, if it exists, is most likely to have a mass constrained to the range 116-130 GeV by the ATLAS experiment, and 115-127 GeV by CMS. Tantalising hints have been seen by both experiments in this mass region, but these are not yet strong enough to claim a discovery. .... |

Scientists closing in on 'God particle' existence
----------------------------------------Large Hadron Collider part of effort to prove or disprove universal building block Computerworld - Scientists working to find the elusive "God particle" say they've discovered "intriguing" signs that it does exist and they are closing in on what could be a basic building block of the universe. Researchers working at the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider located astride the Swiss/French border, were quick to note they have not yet found anything to definitively prove or disprove that the Higgs boson particle exists. However, they think they're close enough to figure it out within a year. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/922263...source=feedburner&utm  |

And so it came out the prematureness of such "faster than light neutrinos" had a little help of faulty fiber optics and a wobbly GPS... not as fast as light.

I thought I read something somewhere or saw something on TV about some place already getting a particle to move faster than light speed, via sending some type of particle through some really super cooled substance. This was from 1-2 years ago if I remember correctly. Is this the same thing I'm thinking of or something different?

Maybe you're confusing something where they've managed to slow down light. Links to the presumed ''super cooled substance story will help to clarify.

I believe to what you are referring was an Austrian experiment using a Bose-Einsten condensate where a beam(particle)(photon) of light passed through this creating a wave. The wave apparently traveled faster than the light, reaching the detector before the light did. I never did see the follow up to this result. Cheers

Thanks Sgt.Joe. That actually sounds familiar. It was only a small distance, perhaps a centimeter or something small like that, but when they timed it for the distance it traveled, it turned out to be faster than light speed. They could even repeat the experiment with the same results. I thought it was pretty darn neat, actually. :)
