Quantum gravity can entangle light and a rotating object. The direction of rotation changes the strength of their invisible bond. Such an experiment will one day test what building blocks gravity is made of—graviton particles.

🎯 A single graviton is so weak that to detect it, you'd have to build a detector the size of Jupiter.
