Alex,
let them first confirm their results (that means somebody else must repeat the result of the measurement) .
Then we shall see what happens next.
As far as speed of light in vacuum is concerned, no-one said it is the highest speed.. it is just a constant.
Particle with any rest mass greater that 0 can't be accelerated to c ( because for that we need to apply infinite amount of energy...) but if "particle" has imaginary mass (tachyon), it can travel with speed higher than c and no postulate is violated (OK, Carl, you can shoot me now)
