> The unexpected new data coming back from the telescope are inspiring panic among astronomers
This assumption that surprising results induce panic, fear or worry in scientists speaks volumes in itself.
Nothing could please a true scientist more than discovering something new and unexpected.
The greatest nightmare is not "that doesn't fit the model", it is the words "Grand Unified Theory discovered, science is officially complete".
The paper with the alleged headline "Panic!"[1] is clearly also misinterpreted: the title is actually Panic! At the Disks which is a play on a band name, Panic! At the Disco.
