Probably not

[Ben Ritchie]

Just catching up with the abstracts on the arXiv this week, and spotted this one

[1110.2832] Can apparent superluminal neutrino speeds be explained as a quantum weak measurement?

the abstract is a rare example of brevity in scientific writing:

Probably not.

The paper itself is rather longer and appears to have been submitted to a sensible journal (Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical) rather than being a joke that slipped past the arXiv moderators, but compared to the more typical abstracts, e.g.

The general concept of nonlinear self-adjointness of differential equations is introduced. It includes the linear self-adjointness as a particular case. Moreover, it embraces the strict self-adjointness (definition 1) and quasi-self-adjointness introduced earlier by the author. It is shown that the equations possessing nonlinear self-adjointness can be written equivalently in a strictly self-adjoint form by using appropriate multipliers. All linear equations possess the property of nonlinear self-adjointness, and hence can be rewritten in a nonlinear strictly self-adjoint form. For example, the heat equation ut − Δu = 0 becomes strictly self-adjoint after multiplying by u−1. Conservation laws associated with symmetries are given in an explicit form for all nonlinearly self-adjoint partial differential equations and systems.

(plucked at random from the latest issue) their approach raised a smile. Suspect it won't get past the referee or editor though...
