Yeah it's like the thing with the neutrinos. They claimed, after several months past the discovery, to have detected particles, neutrinos, traveling faster than light (at CERN). But they finally said that it was an error of measurement due to a faulty GPS or something.
I was like-- is it really an error or were they all told to shut the fuck up ?
If it was true, that would have mean we could throw away every book of science and start from scratch.
