DBWI a significant breakthrough in science occurred the same day that

Michael Jackson died, so most of Wall Street and the scientific community did not notice because of the overshadowing news coverage...

(OOC: I say DBWI, because there has been a breakthrough in fuel cell battery technology. Neah Power systems announced that they have successful developed a battery that doesn't need any oxygen to function. But MJ's death made it a non story that day. )
 
The scientific community reads journals. They probably don't rely on TVs for scientific breakthroughs.
 
Other than a few internet bloggers it hasn't gotten much attention at all, but everyone who is aware of it says it's invention of epic proportions.
