#:Einstein's equations are known to work for "ordinary" interactions at the planetary and galactic level, but don't work at the quantum level, and may not be fully correct at the deep cosmic level.  The cited article says "Every object there is, from a planet orbiting the sun to a rocket coasting to the moon or a pencil dropped carelessly on the floor, follows its [spacetime's] imperceptible contours."  This is a confirmation of what Einstein said.  The article says that there may be more subtlety to spacetime than was previously known.  Of course this has been hinted at for some time with recent developments in cosmology.  "Breaking relativity" is an unfortunate choice of subtitle.

#:This is interesting.  We look forward to seeing whether this plays out the same way that the supraluminal neutrinos did.  Until then, note that the discrepancy, 33 picoradians, is such that, if you were to shine a laser beam at the Sun, with that amount of angular error, it would miss its target by about 5 meters.  We hope the author will explain how he measured an angle that precisely.
 
#''Subatomic particles have a speed observed to be faster than the speed of light, which contradicts a fundamental assumption of Relativity. The Italian lab that "shocked the scientific world" has announced more precise results, confirming their previous announcement''.

#:This is an interesting observation.  The world's best scientific minds are looking into it.  That relativity is incorrect is not being taken seriously as a possible explanation.
