> set the baa for a new branch of quantum physics I'll admit I got a few paragraphs in before that made it click.

You did better than me lol, I laughed at baa but thought it was just the author being a bit silly, it wasn’t until “moutons” that I checked the date on my phone.

I'm not sure what's supposed to be publication-worthy here. This is common knowledge for anyone who's ever interacted with sheep on a farm, in their natural, fermionic superfluid state. If you turn over a sheep and tickle its ticklish underbelly, you get a sheep-laugh (a hilarious sound) only about 50% of the time; the other 50%, you'll hear a sheep laughing from the opposite end of the meadow. Because, you cannot de…

Even if something is well known, its important to measure it and set statistical limits. While the 4 sigma in the article is not enough to claim an observation, it opens the points towards some exciting new Beyond the Shearing Model physics.

Ah, I see it's useless internet day, catch you all tomorrow.

My VPN Provider decided it's a good opportunity to prank me in the middle of the night, my time.

Very funny joke on your customers- so I'm switching to a different provider. It's cuz obviously I don't have a sense of humor. Life is short and all that.

Useless internet day indeed.

How did they prank you, what did they do?

Why can't they find out why no one has done anything interesting in theoretical physics in 50 years? This stuff is lame in 2025.

Maybe review the last 25 years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_fundamental_physic...

For me it was:

> Lamb Shift

Not that I was aware of the term, but when I looked it up it was obviously a real term, but nothing to do with sheep.
