I would not be too concerned about any Earth shattering
consequences if it were found that neutrinos were found
to travel slightly faster than the speed of light - or other
means of signaling faster than light were discovered.
 
It would only mean that a variation of Lorentz Ether
Theory would replace Special Relativity in some
circumstances.  Tachyons and time travel would not be
a part of such a theory.  Standard LET provides the
same math and numbers as Special Relativity but it
can be adapted to supraluminal signaling - whereas
Special Relativity cannot.
