The OPERA experiment results still need some further testing to rule out errors. It may be too early to schedule supercomputer time but particle and theoretical physicists may want to find and dust off some of their old notebooks and theories. Imagine how many theories that seemed sound but were abandoned because the math pointed to the existence of other dimensions or particles that broke the light speed limit.
If this experiment is proven, it will be as big as discovering that the earth revolves around the sun. After that discovery, all of the observations of astronomers fell into place. Particle and theoretical physicists may want to try operating under the assumption that we do not know what the speed limit of our vibrating universe is. They should try to see where observations and the math take them without a speed limit. The biggest hurdle to overcome in particle physics is the observation of subatomic particles. Just because we have not figured how to observe them does not mean that, they do not exist.
I cannot wait for the full exploration of this discovery. This could usher in a new era of particle and theoretical physics where the possibilities are limitless. Imagine the implications of E=mc2 being recalculated with a different c value or using E=mx2 where you can spend an eternity discovering x.
