I knew it! Only New Scientist publishes things this cool. They were the ones who told me about Podkletnov's antigravity superconductor, too.
Graininess of spacetime? It's like... brownian motion, except for with gravitons. And brownian motion is detectable for very large objects like small bacteria!
We've been hearing about holographic black holes for some time now. Maybe holography is an important part of quantum gravity and we're going to keep running into holograms in all of our very-high-precision experiments.
I bet they'll find tiny wormholes as they keep going down.

This article is head-spinning, but fun.
