Admirers of the pseudoscience of quantum mechanics, that is, adherents of the wave picture of the world, in search of quantizing Einstein’s “space-time continuum”, which, understood strictly according to Einstein, cannot have any structure, that is, quantization, because this completely rejects the very principle of relativity, go to great lengths. Here is another miracle for proving the quantization of the “space-time continuum” – the holometer at Fermilab. This structure was created by Craig Hogan of the University of Chicago, modeled on the “LIGO gravitational wave detectors”. He supposedly can detect quantum fluctuations of the “space-time continuum” in the smallest possible units – Planck length of 10-33 centimeters and Planck time – the time it takes light to travel through the Planck length. It consists of two identical 40-meter interferometers that intersect in a beam splitter. The laser is aimed at the splitter and down towards the two mirrors to reflect back into the splitter for recombination. Any fluctuations in the Planck scale will mean that the returned ray is different from the ray that was originally emitted. A few years ago, the holometer detected zero quantum jitter in spacetime. This clearly did not prove that the “space-time continuum” is “quantum”. This upset Hogan, but also prompted further improvements to his device. Hogan decided that since the arms of the interferometer were straight, he could not detect other types of oscillatory motion, for example, if the oscillations were rotational.
“It is possible that quantum spacetime has a Planck-scale uncertainty in the local frame of reference, which will lead to random rotational fluctuations or rotations that we would not have detected in our first experiment and which are too small to be detected under normal conditions with the help of a gyroscope, ”he concluded.
His team reworked the tool. They added additional mirrors “so they can detect any rotational quantum motion as well.” The result is an incredibly sensitive gyroscope that can supposedly detect “Planck-scale rotations that change direction a million times per second!”
Over five observation sessions, from April 2017 to August 2019, the team collected 1,098 hours of data – a time series with a double interferometer. During all this time, there was not a single wiggle. It turned out that the “space-time continuum” has not yet succumbed to the adepts of “quantum mechanics …
But, undoubtedly, these or other scientists, as it were, will make the “discoveries” necessary for their community, just as “gravitational waves” were “discovered” …
