"massive blow" Pop sciences are generally shit anyway, this is just a more obvious example of it. It's really hard to actually convey info about science topics in an entertaining way that doesn't sacrifice some of the science in exchange for retaining someone's attention. Sad. No heroes.

Everything is in question now. does he realize this?
