Earlier experiments that have searched for pentaquarks have proved inconclusive. Where the LHCb experiment differs is that it has been able to look for pentaquarks from many perspectives, with all pointing to the same conclusion. It’s as if the previous searches were looking for silhouettes in the dark, whereas LHCb conducted the search with the lights on, and from all angles. The next step in the analysis will be to study how the quarks are bound together within the pentaquarks.

Basically, it was almost ruled out as a theory, but then this happened.

My stupidity is self evident.
They've been getting hints for a while. . .I suppose the announcement means they've managed to get the statistical deviation down to 4 or 5 sigma.
