A new method distinguishes quantum gravity from classical by anomalies in measurements.

It turns out that if gravity is classical, attempting to take a quantum 'snapshot' of a mirror yields results that breach the uncertainty principle's bounds. It's like a camera that shakes in sync with what it's filming—scientists are learning to catch such distortions.

🎯 According to the Schrödinger-Newton theory, every object gravitationally attracts itself, and this tiny force can distort a quantum experiment.

\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}
The uncertainty in position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) cannot be less than half the reduced Planck constant (ħ). This is a fundamental limit on the precision of any measurement.
