    I had my suspicions but I wanted to see what others made of it. The headline was obviously dodgy, but that might just have been the reporting rather than the paper. And I glanced at the paper but didn’t dig through. Since then I had a slightly more careful poke through it, and sentences like this ring some pretty loud alarms:

    The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.

    Anyway, I appreciate your comments and the comments of the person you replied to. I should have recognized this for what it was.

      What the actual fuck? I mean I get that it’s a bullshit paper but at least try for god’s sake.

      Nah, you’re doing the right thing: getting input when not sure. That’s the way of learning!

      Only one request: add the thoughts from this answer to the OP the next time please! Would make reading it a bit easier and better framed, at least for me.

      (I.e. “I’m an authority in this field, look at this exciting news! VS “my bullshit sensors tingle but I don’t know enough. What are your thoughts?
