It would be a turn up if Consoli and Co's work is found to be the case. Especially once the detector sensitivity advances technologically to the point they can routinely probe at the level they need. What it would basically mean is that the vacuum, at a quantum level, behaves in a quasi liquid fashion. That doesn't mean that an "aether" exists, but that the QM properties of the vacuum at these levels is similar to the way a liquid behaves.
