Stopped reading there. I hate that a lot of pop-science articles suggest that the foundations of natural sciences are so shaky that a new finding can turn them upside-down. I've lived together with 50-60 social scientists in a small community during my student years, and I found that they don't have the slightest idea about how thoroughly e.g. special and general relativity have been tested in controlled experiments and every day when they use gps in their smartphones. For them these theories may be true, but who knows? I find it really sad that media that are supposed to bring sciences closer to non-scientists fail this way.
