Gravity. Big joke.
Weakest force at the atomic level. Most powerful force at the macro-level.
Is it a wave or a particle or an illusion?
Detecting a "graviton" particle -- if it exists -- will supposedly require a device massing 10x more than the planet earth.*
*The joke is actually that a high school kid will probably find gravitons with $5 worth of electronics for his science fair project.
