There is a reason why excitement is high but scepticism is rife.
The speed limit put on light by Albert Einstein underpins some fabulously successful theories, and not a single light-speed experiment in a century of trying has credibly threatened them.
And yet... it is worth having a little think about how different things might be if the result is confirmed.
Let us be clear: it would be a tremendously exciting time for physics, and a daunting one for physicists, but it is not going to change the price of milk.
