"They won't know for another 15 months, when the analysis has been completed, but physicists around the world are eagerly awaiting the results." Please, give me a break! This is a non-news story! Get back to me in 15 months! You know, there are a few things that I'm eagerly awaiting too, but, until they come to pass, I don't plan on making any announcments! Geeze!
First, this news was taken off the Stanford website, not a newswire. Second, to some of us the expansion of human knowledge is a big deal, and we've known about this mission for a long time. Third, it gives a chance to make Ted Kennedy jokes.
