First of all, I haven't looked at the paper yet, but the key question, in my mind, is how many σ for the result...
This so-called "pressure" is supposedly a minus 2e-46 bar. (YIKES! At my age (87.8) that must be close to my sperm count)
So the question is whether this was in the 3σ, 4σ, or 5σ range...
There have been many, many highly publicized so-called discoveries, usually in the 3σ or 4σ range that simply disappear with time and additional experiments...
The accepted value to be considered a true discovery is at 5σ...
Looking forward to reading the publication
It’s all about the grant money.
