Well, compare some past "wow" discoveries and see what came of
  them. This one, the Universe is a String Net Liquid, I wrote ALL
  EXCITED about it on August 2, 2008. I read it, researched more
  deeply until I understood it, absorbed it, and moved on with my
  life. But I honestly don't know if anything came of it, just as
  I'm not sure if anything will come of this, outside of needing
  to prove results for a new LIGO detector in order to continue to
  secure fundings for a bit longer. Hope it does of course.
