    Looks like it’s something with low-frequency gravitational waves, and the people involved are doing more measurement than theory. I’ll guess they discovered a particularly wacky dark matter object. Maybe they found something weirder or more fundamental though.

    Also, one of the scientists involved says it’s aliens, but she’s clearly a born shitposter.

      I’m gonna guess it’s about galaxy formation, that seems to be a focus of their gravitational wave thing. It might adjust some stuff in our understanding of cosmic history but I’d be very surprised if it’s about really close-to-the-big-bang stuff, which is what a lot of people think of as foundational
