minus-square@A_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•1 year agoThanks for this nice explanation. Also, I would underline some of the requirements of the setup : … “the experiment requires long coherence times, torsion pendulums that lose little energy as they oscillate, and an ultracold environment.” …
minus-square@cynar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•1 year agoIt’s definitely not an easy experiment, it’s an order of magnitude easier than the other ideas though. It might even be within the realms of current equipment.
minus-square@A_A@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•1 year agoAbsolutely ! …and science discoveries often comes from people who are creative and knows technology : both in capacities and limits.
