It is known that both magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities suppress unconventional superconductivity. Here we compare their effect on the paradigm unconventional superconductor, superfluid, using highly dilute silica aerogel. Switching magnetic to nonmagnetic scattering in the same physical system is achieved by coating the aerogel surface with. We find a marginal influence on the transition temperature itself. However, we have discovered that thephase, which breaks time reversal symmetry, is strongly influenced, while the isotropicphase is unchanged. Importantly, this occurs only if the impurities are anisotropically distributed on a global scale.
