> The most famous example is of course Hawking's prediction that black holes emit thermal radiation and will eventually evaporate. Ahhh you're right, that's a gravitational-scale thing! But even a rotating black hole has a tiny state vector, which is the only reason that model has any chance of working. Good luck extending this approach to an ordinary pebble, asteroid, or planet. Also the compression-of-quantum-state contributes to the black hole information paradox (a result of Hawking's theory), right? Has that actually been resolved, and until it is, isn't that essentially an incompatibility with [some stuff that I can't talk about intelligently]? > Another example would be the recent test of whether the Newtonian gravitational potential affects the quantum phase of neutrons (it does). This doesn't test any relativistic effects of gravity, but it does provide evidence that gravity is an interaction in the quantum sense. Sounds pretty cool, but I doubt I'm going to be able to discuss this meaningfully. Is this related to the Higgs boson? That's the force carrier for gravitation in the Standard Model, if I understand correctly.
