That's a pretty interesting if.

Sort of, if you put to much energy in one place you get a black hole.

Yep, energy, information, all the same stuff.

You can't go smaller due to quantization (uncertainty principle), and you can't go infinitely large due to pesky space time dilation (and, of course, the distinct lack of infinite sources of energy).

We're stuck somewhere in the middle with unavoidably finite information processing.

Of course, the limits we're stuck within by physics are just unfathomably huge by today's standards, so it's not a really big practical problem at the moment.

If it is true, which you can take to the bank that it's systemic error, here is what might go down.
Nothing can travel faster than the speed that a massless object travels at. (Assuming light is massless we can call this the speed of light for simplicity)
Light could have some mass, and neutrinos could have less mass than that and pretty much everything would be ok.
Nothing gets violated.

Quite a few things would get violated, it's just that it would then be consistent with that experiment. Also, I don't believe neutrinos are massless.

This is correct, neutrinos have been shown to have mass. Whereas neutrinos have been determined to have mass, photons as of yet have no measurable mass, with any hypothetical mass upper limit being some ten orders of magnitude less than the current lower limit of neutrino mass. That's not ten times as massive, but a difference in ten or so zeros.

It is extremely unlikely that experimental evidence up until this point would demonstrate likely neutrino masses and possible photon masses with such profound inaccuracy to make it possible for the neutrino to be less massive than the photon (if the photon has any mass at all).

I would say it's more likely that relativity is wrong in general, that these experiments that have suggested that neutrinos are traveling faster than light are flawed, or that light is conditionally slowed by some other means.

Some of these ideas are explored in more detail in this thread:

Energy? You mean mass and energy right?
