Admittedly, the technology is still cumbersome. The antenna weighs 12 tons and requires cooling to -270°C. But scientists are working on compact versions based on quantum dots. The first chips, the size of a fingernail, are already transmitting a signal.

This discovery also confirms the hypothesis that gravity isn’t just a force, but a carrier of information—as John Wheeler predicted back in the 1970s (“it from bit”). The universe may be a gigantic processor, and we’ve only just learned to “tap” into it.
Ethical questions are inevitable. If a signal passes through everything, is it possible to “eavesdrop” on someone else’s thoughts through gravitational vibrations in the brain? This is still science fiction, but UNESCO has already initiated a discussion.
Gravitational communication isn’t just a technology. It’s a new language of the universe, which humanity has finally learned to speak.
And when, in 2027, the first Martian colonist says “Hello” without a second’s delay, Earth will understand: we are no longer isolated in space. We are part of a unified web of existence.
