Could be proven wrong, I say could because according to wiki the second test was false but I don't know its wiki.
| Wiki wrote: | | In September 2011, neutrinos apparently moving faster than light were detected (see Faster-than-light neutrino anomaly). Since then the experiment has undergone extensive critique and efforts to replicate the results because confirming the results would change our understanding of the theory of relativity. In November 2011, the experiment was refined and yielded the same result. (See Speed below). However, in February 2012 reports came out that the results may have been caused by a loose fiber optic cable attached to one of the atomic clocks which measured the departure and arrival times of the neutrinos. The cable is going to be fixed and the experiment will be run again to see if the same results are found. |

with science, anything is possible, there are no rules, logic is not applicable.
