Up front:Physicsis a moving target.
But ultimately, any given theory is only as good as its ability to work with complimentary theories.

But theres a problem.
If we smash all the leading theories together, we end up with an incomplete picture.
But pushing the limits of quantum measurement is no simple task.
The sensors were talking about are designed to measure the tiny vibrations occurringinsideof individual atoms.
The more finitely we can measure these vibrations, the more information we can glean about the universe.
In the classical world, you could just wait for the coin to hit the floor.
so you can measure the results, all you have to do is look down.
But the quantum world works a bit differently.
Such a shift would be impossible to detect with existing measurement tools.
Instead, the team applied time reversal to boost this quantum signal.
Neurals take:This is awesome!
The scientists figured out how to perturb atoms so that they vibrate hard enough for us to detect it.
And that means these techniques could legitimately lead to a full-on dark matter detector.
Theoretically speaking, dark matter particles should be ubiquitous throughout the universe.
They could be bouncing off of you (or maybe flying through you?)
