we'd give it a 70% chance this is someone looking for funding with a platter of dopamine ... what happened to the fusion breakthrough btw ? several months ago the planet was saved , havent heard from it since. But its probably "A" discovery that could open up doors ... after 40 years of looking for a time machine to get back to the future we are all convinced 90% of science news is looking for funding, like nasa grads claiming an antimatter cloud is coming ...
anyhoo, from here, the point of view would say : "the world is still shyte and nothing got better in five years" , opinions might vary to people who live in disneyland or above the belt ;..
