Warning: This might Make Your Head Asplode

"...For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their
heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector.
Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an
explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew
they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the
Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has
stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the point where
space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described
and instead dissolves into "grains", just as a newspaper photograph
dissolves into dots as you zoom in. "It looks like GEO600 is being
buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says
Hogan.
If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been
appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has
an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect
it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."

"He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions
and shaped like a Pringle is the same as the physics taking place on the
four-dimensional boundary."
PRINGLES ARE THE DREAMS OF CTHULHU! Once again Kibology scoops the puzzled
scientists by being puzzled FIRST!
"They have to take into account passing clouds, distant traffic, seismological
rumbles and many, many other sources that could mask a real signal."
Including, of course, local zombie infestations. All that reaching of the hand
up through the earth over the grave, and clawing their way out of the coffin,
wreaks havoc on any nearby experiments that have to be insulated from vibration.
