Default An experiment to determine if we're living in a hologram

Yes, but there is a pair, so "macroscopic" causes should be excluded (or more excludable).

And which in turn, sounds remarkably like the
Michaelson-Morley experiment of the 19th century
which was used to disprove the existence of the
Luminoferous Aether.

So how exactly are they expecting to find waves
here, that the gravitational wave experiments
that have been running for several years has not
been able to find?


Looking for very high frequencies. Faster than molecules can spin, from the sound of it.

Some of these gravity wave experiments are
several miles long too!


They are looking for lower frequency effects, propagating at c, hence the size.

They have the equipment. They have the staff and budget. No one has looked under this particular "streetlight" yet, in this way. They are going to sweep over their range, and see if they find anything interesting.

Finding nothing, is a good thing to search for too. Even if it is boring. Because NOT to look, is not Science.
