OK, fun article. But holy smokes, when I first read the title, I thought it was saying, "GF pasta falls apart because of neutron scattering." Whew!

The word "explains" is ambiguous. Compare:

Jack's girlfriend explains why the sky is blue.

Rayleigh scattering explains why the sky is blue.

"Rayleigh scattering explains the blueness of the sky", Jack's girlfriend explains.

Same thing happened to me. My reading comprehension isn't always great first thing in the morning, but I still feel like the title was/is somewhat confusingly worded.
