Now-a-days with the social networks, everything seems to be about excitement for some people, but the scientific method survived almost two centuries very well without it, thank you very much.

If you want that kind of excitement, try other area, in here, the only excitement comes from finding an answer to a problem based on science, not in some sci-fi novel.

P.S.: The simple explanation in this case is of course some physical process we can't understand. Not an alien civilization making planet sized machines to power their spaceships. This ain't star wars.
