"Calculations were done, and the possibility of it happening was shown to be one in a million." "shown"!? "supposed" you mean right!? Or is there one in a mi

  That's not quite correct. The calculations disproved it to a certainty of one against a million. Or, to put it in another way, the data they had clearly showed that it couldn't happen, but taking into account all known sources of errors, there was a one-in-a-million chance that the data they had was the result of random errors.

    ..and a much larger chance that the scientists had made a mistake somewhere in the calculations.
