To make them big enough and powerful enough to probe that distant scale, you'd need like, a collider the size of the solar system or maybe even the galaxy. So then what can we do? The first idea was proposed about ten years ago by beckenstein. And he had this crazy idea of shooting a single photon at a crystal d the idea is that what happens when you shoot a photons at a crystal is a quantum object - either it gets absorbed or it doesn't. It pushes the crystal a little bit
