@vzn "* they are not claiming a contradiction with QM, only a new prediction/ experimental measurement outside of it*" I find that *very* hard to believe. That would still be a claim of experimental evidence of new physics, published in Nature. That would be huge, and stated way more clearly in the abstract and paper. And would be shouted from the rooftops within the scientific community itself, not just on quanta articles or youtube.
At the very least, people in the quantum community on twitter would be talking about it, which I haven't seen anyone do
