I'm sure y'all have seen this post from NECSI:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.11489
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-019-0739-6

It's interesting that the arXiv.org submission is 1.25 years old and the 
paper's just out in Nature Physics.

From the news article (first link) 8^):

> Siegenfeld says that’s because in physics, it’s not always necessary to know 
> the details of the underlying objects or mechanisms to be able to produce 
> useful and meaningful results.
