Although the article reads as sensational, it is actually based on three recently accepted papers in Physical Review Letters. It also gives some insight into several research groups wanting to claim being the first having seen evidence for new physics, be it from sparse observational data.
- titanomachy 6y agoI actually thought the article, and the physicists it quoted, did a pretty good job of balancing excitement with cautious skepticism.
- mcguire 6y ago"Last September, the collaboration posted a paper on the preprint server arXiv.org, which hosts scientific articles that have yet to go through peer review, showing that its monitored pulsars all displayed similar blips. (The paper has since been peer-reviewed and published.)" Yeah. One would thought they would lead with the peer-reviewed publications rather than preprints.
