I didn't suggest ignoring the experiment. I'm just setting a baseline for how important this result is.

- AnimalMuppet 10y agoWell, if it's experimental error, then we learn a bit more about how to properly and carefully conduct experiments. If it's not experimental error, though... Unfortunately, you have to look into it carefully to find out whether it's experimental error or something more interesting. And, to return to Everhusk's first post: Experimental error can result in an "anomaly". The experiment is not returning the results we expect. That's an anomaly. An anomaly doesn't have to be new physics.
