I'm sure this is serious research, but for something this big it needs A LOT of checking before you can even consider it. As in high school science classes, this could easily be systematic or random errors from instrument faults. It's not like we can travel to those galaxies and check.

So, Khuutra, calm down. If it's still true in 3 months then by all means freak out. It also means I'm in a job because I'm going to start a Physics degree soon (at Cambridge; maybe I'll meet those researchers) with the intention of going into research. New stuff we can't explain well is exciting.

I'm not actually freaking out; I find the idea fascinating. I was using text screams as a means of conveying hyperbole, since it calls into mind the idea of the laws of physics being fluid and changeable over time. It would mean that all being, all laws, all of everything, is potentially transient.
