At the low end -- there have been 15,000 wrong calculations this year. At the high end -- everything mankind thinks it knows about physics is wrong. Midpoint -- it is in fact possible to travel faster than the speed of light (at least for subatomic particles), and/or it's proof that the universe has more than four dimensions. Weird possibility -- the speed of light is variable or changing, and we no longer know what the speed of light actually is.

And thinking about that very notion is already making my head hurt, hahah.
