Seriously, people, this discovery is not really about being able to unboil eggs. It's about a way to quickly and efficiently restore common proteins that have been misformed through heat or other processes.
OP just means the headline is talking only about the somewhat mundane event, not the much bigger implications.
Maybe I'm not understanding your point, obviously you aren't claiming that before the 1940's candy bars didn't melt in people pockets?
Unboiling an egg is quite mundane when compared to what else you could do with egg-unboiling technology. (I'll leave that speculation to the other fine comments on this post)
Unboiling an egg seems a lot less mundane than a candy bar melting, to me.
To repeat: "OP just means the headline is talking only about the somewhat mundane event, not the much bigger implications." And, yes, unboiling an egg is a mundane headline when compared to its much bigger implications.
Driving is mundane when compared to flying a fighter jet in combat. But driving is not mundane.
And I don't understand why you're still saying the candy bar melting in Spencer's pocket isn't surprising. It's his story. Spencer himself said it was surprising. Can't you take his word for it?
