Ok, I went over and read through Sascha's stuff. I can't say that I really understand what he is talking about, but I sort of followed his discussion based on the neutrinos "splashing" out of our brane into the bulk. The first thing that comes to my mind is that he assumes that the neutrinos all splash out. I don't see that myself. He compares it to an ocean wave that causes drops of water to splash out into the air, where they can travel faster than they could in the water. But I don't see how all of the neutrinos would splash out. I would think that some might, but not all of them, so that what would happen would be that the pulse would smear out, instead of just shortening the transit time.
He did say that he thinks it is probably just some sort of system error, but this is a possible mechanism to explain it if it isn't.
In the mean time we will have to keep on waiting to see if there are other experiments that will confirm the superluminal effect.
