These types of articles are always frustrating, in that they very rarely provide an even halfway decent explanation of the math or science involved (if they do, it is buried deep), and are instead little more than a repetitive explanation of the importance of the work, judged by quotes from as many people as humanly possible. This article (which says very little) is still probably too long with all the fluff added around the actual discovery.

Unfortunately, there is only a way to check the accuracy of a long article by scrutinizing a complicated mathematical transformation of it in a few spots.
