Let's assume it's true. I keep reading that science has been turned on its head. What type of thinking will have to be reassessed? Are there actually any major implications?

If you're referring to the neutrino experiment, there was just a paper released about that on Friday showing that the neutrino's could not have travelled at the speed of light (they would have emitted electron/positron pairs and lost way more energy than they actually did).
The implications of something traveling faster than the speed of light would depend entirely on the circumstances. It would suggest that perhaps there is some sort of force not related to the speed of light (as all other forces are) that must have accelerated that object, or that it travelled through a fourth dimension (unlikely)

Haven't the foggiest, because it's not going to make one iota of difference. Not in *my* world, anyway...and that's the only world that matters.
