Any clue what this would be?
Confusing tweet found on twitter about June 28th and 29th
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers around a tweet regarding the scheduled Nanograv news conference on June 29th, which pertains to signals from supermassive black hole collisions that are undetectable by LIGO. Participants express skepticism about the tweet's clarity and its relevance to the foundations of physics. The Nanograv conference is expected to present significant findings related to gravitational waves and astrophysics.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of gravitational wave detection methods, specifically LIGO.
- Familiarity with astrophysical phenomena, particularly supermassive black holes.
- Knowledge of the Nanograv project and its objectives.
- Basic comprehension of physics communication in social media contexts.
- Research the latest findings from the Nanograv project and their implications for astrophysics.
- Explore the limitations of LIGO in detecting certain gravitational wave signals.
- Study the methods used to detect signals from supermassive black hole collisions.
- Analyze the impact of social media on the dissemination of scientific information.
Astronomers, astrophysicists, science communicators, and anyone interested in the latest developments in gravitational wave research and the implications of social media on scientific discourse.

I bet it's the scheduled Nanograv news conference. It has to do with signals from collisions of supermassive black holes, which can't be detected by LIGO. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/nanograv-results-on-thursday-june-29.1053481/
This wouldn't really have anything to do with the "foundations of physics," but you can't expect precision from tweets.
