There are multiple theories that claim to do this, but it\u2019s notoriously difficult to test them. They seem to require absurd experiments like a particle collider the size of a galaxy. Or we could try to physics smarter, instead of physicsing harder. Let\u2019s talk about some ideas for quantum gravity experiments that can be done on a non-galaxy-sized lab bench, and in some cases already have been done.<\/p>\n<p>PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.
