The strength of gravitational entanglement between two quantum particles turns out to be the same for a speck of dust and an entire virus.

Two diamonds levitated in a vacuum, due to their mass, begin to behave as a single entity—even though there is nothing between them. This effect is independent of mass: whether a speck of dust or a larger crumb. This is how scientists aim to catch gravity at the quantum frontier.

🎯 Quantum objects never stand still: even in absolute vacuum and at zero temperature, they always tremble slightly. This jitter is a fundamental limit for instrument precision.
