That's the same paper I mentioned, see above.

No, it's just another proposal, among the countless others. It remains to be seen whether this holds any water.

The results would be identical to the results obtained with neutrinos, i.e., photons would appear 60 ns before they were supposed to. The clocks need to be synchronized identically of course and the experiment could be done over the ground."

Any how exactly is the light going to cross the Alps and the Apennines?
