This will change EVERYTHING

Harvard Center for Astro-Physics Press Release

The implications of this discovery will open up a whole new strain of scientific thought and could possibly lead to a whole new branch of physics, not to mention the possibilities for energy production, matter synthesis and of course, destruction.

The discovery of complex matter (in this case the Iron Gas) existing in a stable form riding along a ripple in the very fabric of space time could very well be the key to Faster Than Light (FTL) travel.

Until now, this little understood phenomenon was merely theorized by Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Now that we have an actual example of a ripple in space time that can be observed and analyzed, a whole new understanding of the underlying fabric of the universe can be theorized and explored.

The revelations that light can in fact escape the regions surrounding a black hole also will force a new examination of the forces that hold the universe together.

Coupled together, the discoveries can only be described with one word - Incredible.
