Neutrino experiment affirms faster-than-light claim

3) Tiny stable wormhole or other anomaly under Alps (casualty saved, doubtful that it gives stable results)

4) High energy neutrinos spontaneously teleport themselves (casualty saved, new, very odd physics needed)

...

n) Subtle measurement problem (impossible to falsify until the result is replicated on independent setup)

How do either of those save causality? If you've got regular neutrinos traveling FTL, causality is broken. It doesn't matter if the particles travel FTL because they really have a measurable velocity FTL or because they somehow spontaneously teleport.

I think you mean causality.

Sure, thanks.
