Given the publicity someone is probably already planning on looking into it. Publicity is one of the major differences between crank science that is ignored and other things like the reactionless drive at NASA. I wouldn't say that papers are ignored because they must be wrong. It's hard to make a definitive statement either way, but "revolutionary" experiments very rarely come with good rigor and examination (the neutrino experiment is one of the few counterexamples, it was excellent). Crappy papers get ignored, revolutionary or not. It's very rare that a paper is well-done, upsets normal beliefs, and isn't immediately seized on by the media and community.
