It occurs to me that if in fact neutrinos do go 1.000025 times the speed of photons after compensating for gravitational curving as the particle falls and the angular momentum induced by the earth, that may not mean anything, really. Light travels at different speeds through different materials. We have thought that C was the speed of light (photons) in a vacuum. Maybe C is actually the speed of neutrinos, not photons, so it's 0.00025 times faster. That doesn't change E=MC2. It only means that C is a tiny but faster than we thought.
