A German experiment looking for gravitational waves has picked up some inexplicable noise, and it could be a clue to the underlying nature of the cosmos.
Most fascinating! Could be a wonderfully fortuitous case of serendipity but if the supposed holographic noise turns out to have another explanation, it is a great detective story by Hogan and associates anyway. I love the irony that an experiment, designed to pick up gravitational waves over a large scale, might have detected the miniscule graininess of space-time.
