First, read the article:
http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-11-physicists-neutrinos.html
By MY understanding of string theory, this happened because the neutrinos had less resistance in space occupied by matter than empty space. Matter OCCUPIES space, because it is made of strings that coil around the fabric of space itself. By coiling around space itself, the strings reduce or even eliminate the "quantum froth" that occurs at or below the Planck Length. This is what gives matter it's solidity and prevents objects from passing through one another. In this case, the matter and associated gravity smoothed space to the point that the neutrinos had less resistance, and could travel without having a "pinball path" through the "quantum froth."
Thoughts?
