Researchers have discovered interactions between astronomical bodies which may significantly impact the speed at which mankind could explore and exploit the solar system. Those of you who read SF may recognize such concepts theorized as "grav lanes"... and now it looks as if these may be real. This research is a serious Nobel contender in physics, I'd wager.

Here's a summary which balances readability to the average guy with the actual science:
