we understand that, like aristotle and newton, einstein was  fallible, hence  einsteinian physics will eventually become obsolete.  however, this latest news seems more along the lines of the rumours earlier this year of a few thousand data points alleging to show evidence of the higgs boson.  this tendency towards sensational news leaks may occur every time their budget comes up for review.  given the current euro-american debt crisis, one would suggest that Sarko and Merkel divert funds from CERN toward rehabilitating the PIGS and send the rumour mongers to re-education camp ASAP.
