Six observations consistent with the electron neutrino being a tachyon with mass: $m_{ν_e}^2=-0.11 \pm 0.016 eV^2$ — mentioned by Steuard

This article on phys.org appears to be taken verbatim from a press release written by the paper's author, Robert Erlech. (Here's his website: http://mason.gmu.edu/~rehrlich/) From that site, here's a link to what seems to be the original paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2804 Just as a minor quality signifier, it looks like this paper is categorized under gen-ph ("General Physics") on arXiv.org. That's unusual for mainstream research: topics like this would usually be categorized as "High energy physics" or "Astrophysics". I don't know exactly what criteria arXiv.org uses to judge when a paper…

I am always weary of a sole authored physics paper, especially in particle physics. Either he had nobody working with him, or nobody wanted their name associated with the work, both raise red flags these days. Direct link to arxiv paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2804
