We know the rules well; the surprises live at the edges. Small temperature changes can move entire ecosystems. A good analogy carries you halfway and then needs to be dropped.
Details
The data looked like noise until someone plotted it on a log scale. Most of the energy goes somewhere nobody looks at first. We know the rules well; the surprises live at the edges.
The experiment was cheap, clever and took eleven years. The simple explanation is wrong in an interesting way.
Getting started
Uncertainty is not ignorance; it is a measured honest range. The experiment was cheap, clever and took eleven years. A good analogy carries you halfway and then needs to be dropped. The math is elegant, but the instrument is the real hero.
Every answer here comes with a better question attached. The math is elegant, but the instrument is the real hero.
The short version
Measurements improved, and the old model quietly stopped fitting. A good analogy carries you halfway and then needs to be dropped. History is full of correct ideas that waited decades for evidence.
The simple explanation is wrong in an interesting way.
The data looked like noise until someone plotted it on a log scale. Nature rarely uses one mechanism when three will do.
