Wow. What a truly appalling example of science "journalism". Thanks for highlighting a web site that is well worth avoiding.

On the other hand, an interesting bit of experimental work. A more sensible and informative article about it here: https://phys.org/news/2018-04-atoms-combined-dipolar-molecule.html#jCp

And the original paper: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2018/04/11/science.aar7797

Such misleading vividness! Shocking! Impossible! It's such a disservice to science when authors feel compelled to embellish like this.

Other scientists also jumped into the hype by showing their excitement over the results of the experiment.

"Jumped into the hype"? Good grief, why can't people understand why such emotional garbage attached to a scientific discovery creates unnatural skepticism (as opposed to the healthy kind)? I think this is one big reason we see so many perpetual skeptics who never get off the fence.

To recap: Science good, absolute-knowledge.com bad.
