A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A man holding a paper asks a woman, "So what'd the experiment find?" She replies, "Either we had a slight measuring error, or all of physics is wrong." Panel 2: A newspaper shows the sensational headline "EXPERIMENT MAY OVERTURN EINSTEIN" with the subhead "...OR PHYSICS IS WRONG, SAYS SCIENTIST" — the press has seized on the dramatic possibility while ignoring the far more likely measuring error. Votey: A clickbait-style listicle headline reads "EINSTEIN PWNED — 43 GIFS EXPLAIN WHY," with a big number "1" and a cat's face poking up from the bottom of the frame, mocking how online media would cover the story.
