WTF is this hyperbolic nonsense article title? It's ridiculous not only because it wildly oversells the importance of the discovery being reported, but also because it is fundamentally anti-scientific to act as if previous findings are "beliefs" to be "upended" or that rewriting textbooks to reflect new research is anything but routine and expected.

No offense, OP, but get this shit out of here.
