That looks like a mangled version of a faux story from the Weekly World News. It includes this quote:

"The good news is that this finding confirms several cutting- edge ideas in theoretical physics," announced Dr. Albert Sherwinski, a Cambridge based astrophysicist with close ties to NASA.

"The bad news is that the total annihilation of our solar system is imminent."

For those who don't know, WWN is a joke tabloid that specializes in outrageous stories. It was one of Douglas Adams' favorite periodicals.
My favorite WWN story (with pictures) was the 2003 wedding between Osama Bin Laden & Saddam Hussein (Saddam was the bride, and wore a white gown). Attendees included Muammar Qadaffi, Kim Jong Il and Jacques Chirac.
