well, i have to say, scientists can be quite unbelieving
I can totally understand, that people are rightfully sceptical about this. But i know, that there are things between heaven and earth, we simply do not understand.
I think there might be a chance, that they discovered another fluke of nature. If it works then it will probably something more like Robert mentioned, since we still believe all the laws af physics apply. But if its not that, then we have a situation like in the middleages where the witches might be burned. (And, yes, i know that the earth is flat and the center of the universe
)
