Click For Summary
The Page-Geilker experiment explores the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravity by observing two masses connected by a spring oscillating in response to radioactive decay, akin to the Schrödinger cat scenario. The findings suggest that a viable theory of gravity must incorporate quantized gravitational fields, challenging the semiclassical gravity framework under certain quantum mechanical assumptions. The experiment's implications indicate that semiclassical gravity may not be the correct model for understanding gravity at quantum scales. The discussion also references alternative approaches, such as the Bohmian interpretation, which could address fundamental issues in quantum physics. Overall, the experiment contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravitational theory.

In an experiment by Page and Geilker published in Indirect Evidence for Quantum Gravity, two mases that are connected by a spring are allowed to oscillate inside box if a radioactive material decays (similar idea as in the Schrödinger cat experiment). The differences in the energy-momentum tensor of the masses are recorded in some device outside the box. The experiment supports the hypothesis that
a consistent theory of gravity coupled to quantized matter should also have the gravitational field quantized
I would like to understand the details and study the math, but I have no access to the document in the PROLA. Does someone know about this and is willing to elaborate?

This experiment excludes semiclassical gravity as the true theory, provided that some additional assumptions on quantum mechanics are accepted. For an approach that does not accept these assumptions, thus making semiclassical gravity viable see

(I apologize to those who do not like my advertisement of the Bohmian approach that offers a possible solution to many fundamental problems in quantum physics.)
 
"Supernovae evidence for foundational change to cosmological models" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.15143 The paper claims: We compare the standard homogeneous cosmological model, i.e., spatially flat ΛCDM, and the timescape cosmology which invokes backreaction of inhomogeneities. Timescape, while statistically homogeneous and isotropic, departs from average Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker evolution, and replaces dark energy by kinetic gravitational energy and its gradients, in explaining...
