To be fair, though, this isn't incredibly new: I read about this in the song's Wikipedia article over a week ago. I'm surprised it's only being posted now.
Another renowned Mathematician slash Scientist from Britain who worked and studied this musical phenomenon for 40 years, concluded that nobody really cares about the mystery chord.
I looked at one of the links and it had the chord G-B-D-F-A-C and it said it's anyone's guess what chord it is. It's pretty simple, if the notes there are right it's a G11. Then again I don't know if it's actually what is played.
