Exceprt:

For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads
over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of
the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had
even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to
Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia,
Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the
point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein
described and instead dissolves into "grains", just as a newspaper
photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. "It looks like GEO600 is
being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says
Hogan.
