Massive news in the micro-world: a hexaquark particle

There is nothing "momentous" about this observation. People have been looking for dibaryons for decades. The evidence reported here is very indirect, since it comes from a phase shift analysis update (due to some new asymmetry data) and NOT from an observation of a bump in the dibaryon mass spectrum which would have been much more convincing. Particle physicists (I'm one of them) will not really "buy" this until such a bump is observed.
