I’m not merely sceptical I know this is bunk. Not because they’re claiming they accidentally stumbled onto something akin to cold fusion, or the incredible claim that they’ve found a new fundamental force that everyone else completely missed. No I know it’s bunk because they’re already talking to the press about and releasing statements with their claims before the paper is ready.
Every credible organisation if they stumbled on something like this would lock things down. They wouldn’t make any statements until they have double, triple or quadruple-checked everything. Making a massive claim that can make world news but quickly gets debunked is poison to a group’s credibility. So every group that cares about their credibility would only officially confirm anything once every single i is dotted and every t is crossed.
The fact that they’re already talking to the press means they don’t have the real evidence to prove their extraordinary claims and they know it. This is a scam and the whole “We don’t know what causes it” is simply a tactic to make it harder to debunk while they fish for gullible investors to sink money into their scheme.
I always find the faster than light opera neutrinos a good example how actual serious scientists handle an experiment that break well established and proven basic laws of physics. Hint: They did it very differently than the people in the article.

Yeah that’s a good point. Also it’s the debrief, not like the New York Times, so that doesn’t exactly instill confidence.
