A vibrating ball weighing a milligram didn't stop for 110 hours. This record time will help catch signals of quantum gravity—perhaps soon we'll see how space trembles at the micro level.

🎯 Superfluid helium can spontaneously leave an open cup—it simply flows over the edge, ignoring gravity, like a living creature.
