        @BoingBoing Unless someone writes a refutation of the work, in which case the abstract would be "Yes".

        @BoingBoing I can see the follow up paper now - and the abstract would be even shorter: No.

        @BoingBoing Brilliant! (despite not really doing the job of an Abstract). I wish I'd seen abstracts like this when I was an editor. #Physics
