Physicists test the weak equivalence principle in an orbiting space station
📍 Where it landed
The space‑station experiment succeeded in observing free‑falling atoms, showing that gravity influences quantum objects as predicted by the weak equivalence principle. The international team’s results marked the first direct demonstration that Einstein’s gravity operates at the quantum level.
