actually, that's what Miguel proved....that you CAN do FTL info transfer/mass
movement withOUT causality violations.  It's a brilliant bit of theoretical
work, I must say.  Basically, you can look at it with two possibilities.

1)	That Einstein will be like Newton and his theories were a step 'closer'
but weren't the final say (quite possible).

or 

2)	That this is merely a new interpretation of the same theory and that
some of the extrapolated base ideals were, bluntly, wrong.

Of course, this all hinges on whether or not the existance of exotic/negative
matter/"negamatter" exists.

Remember, even Newton was wrong in the end...or rather just approximating.
Einstein, while brilliant, probably will end up being seen the same way.

Interestingly enough, they think that another experiment just completed has
'proven' a way to pin point both the location and momentum of a pair of
electrons...thus getting around the Uncertianty Principle...That one scares 
me.  It means that there might be a total revision of quantum mechanics.
