The headline is a straight up lie. As per the article itself, it was conceived of in 1966 and experimentally confirmed in 2020.
I get what you’re saying, but you also wouldn’t say it was discovered in 1966 as it was simply theorized without any direct evidence. A lot of things are theorized before they are actually discovered to exist.
That’s what discovery is: realizing that something exists and describing it.
You’re talking about creating, using, verifying, observing, etc. There are lots of things Einstein discovered that we are still verifying. It doesn’t mean he didn’t “discover” general relativity.
“ Within scientific disciplines, discovery is the observation of new phenomena, actions, or events which help explain the knowledge gathered through previously acquired scientific evidence.”
Straight from wikipedia (page on discovery).
“ In science, the term “theory” refers to “a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.”
Straight from wikipedia page on Theory.
So if something is theorised to exist, it is neither a theory or discovery. Both cases need evidence and this has only now been presented.
Within science, someone can not “realize” something exist and claim discovery.

Website has too many ads, not clicking.
The best part is it was just copied from another site, at least it was cited. I sent to the site and it said the article is based on an article from another source.
Here’s the true source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06633-0.pdf
