0.002437165 seconds would take for light to go 454 miles
0.002437215 seconds they measured, or 0.00002% faster... couldn't go far back in time with it heh.
Sorry, but something seems to be incorrect with your calculation.
If neutrinos are faster then light, how can the time they traveled be bigger?
Light would need 0,002435017895 seconds (I calculated with 730km and c = 2,99792458 * 10^8 m/s)
They measured the Neutrinos were 60 nanoseconds faster, so thats a total of 0,002434957895 seconds.
The velocity of the neutrionos was 2,997998452 * 10^8 m/s.
So this means the Neutrinos were 7387,2 m/s faster then light, which is 0,002464% and thats may not look much more, but that means every seconds they travel more then 7 kilometers more then light, and thats to much to be a simple mistake.
If we can get enough energy to speed up neutrinos over the speed of light, it means the energy we need is not infinite like we thought till now. And that means it IS possible to travel and send informations with lightspeed and even faster, and even if it does not chance much for practical physic, it DOES chance our view of the universe and how it works...
just my 2 cents
