[in short: by one experience at Geneva by OPERA scientists, neutrinos travel tiny bit faster than the speed of light, but scientists are still skeptical because they think there might be some mistake in calculation and other that the supernova explosion in 1987, neutrinos travel tiny bit slower than the speed.]
EXCERPTS:
NEUTRINOS
There are 16 types of fundamental particles
that are the smallest and simplest building blocks in the universe
together that explains the world and that what hold it together
three of those elementary particles are neutrinos.
neutrinos are so small
without any charge
they can pass trough the space very easily
in fact neutrinos are so tiny
that if the atom is the size of the solar system
then the neutrino is the size of gulf ball.
We also know that
despite their tiny size
they do still have a small mass
which means according to Einstein
they can't travel faster than speed of light.
