Quantum Gravity Observed

Posted by chrisd on from the soon-you-will-lose-weight-fast dept.

Lawrence_Bird writes "AIP News is reporting the first observations of quantum gravitational states by researchers in Grenoble using a beam of ultra cold neutrons. This is an incredible observational achievement when you consider the energies involved - order of 1 pico electron volt (10^ -12eV). The full paper is in the 17 Jan Nature."

    It gets better:

    The next step is to use a more intense beam and an enclosure mirrored on all sides (the energy resolution improves the longer the neutrons spend in the device). An energy resolution as sharp as 10-18 eV is expected
