It Might Be Possible to Detect Gravitons After All | Quanta Magazine
A new experimental proposal suggests detecting a particle of gravity is far easier than anyone imagined. Now physicists are debating what it would really prove.
Hasnain says:
“To physicists such as Carney, however, a mere strong suggestion that gravity is quantized isn’t all that informative. We already have an abundance of strong suggestions that all of reality is quantized, he says. What’s needed is proof — such as experiments that would close the remaining loopholes, no matter how bizarre they might seem.
“We’re so biased to think that everything is quantum that you should really be doing a lawyerly thing,” he said.”
