There is always a quite a bit of chatter on the web whenever something interesting in science happens...
People fear science, and they verbally abuse that which they fear. They especially fear science that is past that point where it becomes "alien" to them, meaning, it's process and results are not anything like the block sliding down an inclined plane.
In 3 months they'll all stop chattering and forget about it. In a year the first results will finally come out, and everyone will sit back and say "wait, weren't we worried about that crazy thing a year ago?" and then NOVA will have a Hollywood style show about it (where they dumb it down to the point that they make false statements) and all will be right in the world again.
