"Breakthrough: Physicists Measure Quantum Gravity at Microscopic Level"

TL;DR Summary
Physicists in England and Europe have successfully measured a tiny gravitational pull on the smallest mass ever recorded, using a 0.000015 ounce mass in a cryostat cooled to just over absolute zero. This breakthrough could help bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and Newtonian gravity, shedding light on mysteries such as the origins of the universe, black holes, and unifying all forces into one theory. Understanding gravity at its extremes has implications for phenomena like black holes, neutron stars, and dark matter, and this new technique may pave the way for measuring quantum gravity and unlocking more secrets about the universe's fabric.
