I remember this well. At the time even the scientists involved didn’t think they’d broken the speed of light.

A lot of news publications still ran with the headline that physics had been broken though, because that generates more newspaper sales / ad revenue.

I'm increasingly moving towards first introspection, "am I feeling surprised or upset at this?" and if true, I skip reading it. It's a trick that can't always be applied of course, but in situations like this one, it's a pretty good one.

Also, all the "will surprise you", "happens next", etc are instant ctrl+w (close tab).

If it sounds too good to be true, it almost always is. (“Good” may be replaced with certain other adjectives such as “exciting” or “revolutionary”.)

I'm similar, but every now and then you overlook something really big.

If it's big enough, you'll become aware of it anyway.
