   \_the nearly simultaneous arrival of the photons and neutrinos after a   
   journey of some 160 000 yr\_   
      
   I am in the midst of writing up a reply to recent comments from Phillip   
   and  Lawrence.  But a quick question regarding the study cited by   
   Steven.   
      
   The quote above from the abstract has me scratching my head. Photons are   
   massless while neutrinos do have a very tiny mass. So neutrinos will   
   travel at a  rapid but still subluminal velocity.  So how after such a   
   long journey can they arrive at nearly the same time? Unless the word   
   \_nearly_/ was used to indicate an accounting for the small mass which   
   would slightly delay their arrival?
