Pushing gravity sounds like an oxymoron. But if you smear a massive body into a quantum superposition, its attraction can turn into repulsion. The experiment promises to glimpse the quantum nature of spacetime for the first time.

🎯 Quantum gravity was considered almost elusive: the forces are so weak that at the micro level they can't be measured. This experiment proves otherwise.

🎬 Science fiction writers have long dreamed of antigravity: Asimov created it with quantum converters. Now scientists propose a real quantum trick to see repulsion in the lab for the first time.
