Our Only Chance To Finally Unlock The Gravity Particle
Our Only Chance To Finally Unlock The Gravity Particle PBS Space Time
Physicists have long believed that detecting the particle of gravity—the graviton—was fundamentally impossible, with the universe itself seeming to block every direct attempt. This episode explores a new generation of clever experiments that may finally let us detect gravity’s particle, and why even succeeding wouldn’t quite mean what we think it does.
