    Very sophisticated experiment measures that there is nothing new at small scales. (but give us more money so eventually we can measure something new)

      I actually appreciate this comment. It’s basically a tldr for how experiments work. Confirmation of nothing new is itself a great discovery, on our path to the ToE!

        Thanks and indeed I intended my comment be a tldr but also I was trying to debunk the clickbait title.

      If you are going to make comments that contribute nothing, do us all a favor and don’t bother.

      Not every experiment is going to give unexpected results. That still tells us something valuable. i.e it places stricter limits on when gravity acts weird in possible models.

      Edit: ugh. I just read the article. “Isaac Newton discovered gravity” 🤦‍♂️

      Apologies for overreacting. I suck.

      (Original comment follows)

      Why don’t you get the fuck out of here?

      I hated reddit for most things, but the science subreddit was (is?) very efficient at removing these comments that contribute nothing else except for wasting server space and people’s time.

    I’ve heard that it’s an impossible task. That to actual measure quantum gravity you’d need tiny masses closer than the Planck length to each other.
