This is very encouraging. At least to me.
But can you imagine how depressing this must be to thousands of wanna-be-scientists? For an entire career they have been preaching stuff that not only does not exist, but has now been proven to not exist.
Okay, so I may have overstated the “existence” part. After all, it is THEORETICAL physics.
BTW - Isaac Newton is waiting for some apologies. LOL

..."no two electrons can have the same quantum state. The practical result of this principle is the fact that matter cannot pass through matter."

Does last thing to go through a mosquito's mind as it hits the windshield count as matter passing through matter? /s

Actually only a very small fraction of theoretical physicists thought (hoped?) this experiment would show a positive result. Presumably "theoretical physicists" and "wanna-be-scientists" are mutually exclusive groups.
