Well, I bring that one up because it was the thing that
"everybody was talking about" at the time, 7.5 years ago. I was
excited about that, just as people are excited about this. 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. So while it's not a direct
comparison, it's an example of comparing a hyped up "Science
Discovery That Will Change Everything" - and wondering whether
it really *did* change "Physics as we know it" or if it is just
a way to justify their jobs.
