Distinctly on topic but also worthy of News is progress on a completely different kind of experimental approach based on the smaller AMANDA project.

The ICE CUBE project will ultimately take up over a kilometer square section in ice at Antarctica to track neutrinos.

As a particle physics detector capable of detecting neutrinos with energies far above those produced at accelerators, IceCube will search for super-symmetric particles and the topological defects created during grand unified phase transitions in the early universe. The detection of cosmic neutrino beams will also make it possible to study neutrino oscillations over megaparsec baselines.

It's purpose is to do and see things the LHC cannot and consider effects telescopes and colliders cannot, specifically to track the distribution of ancient neutrinos. If said distribution shows that gravity breaks down the quantum nature of neutrinos this would be a serious game changer for all forms of Quantum Gravity as well as String Theory. Obviously this will utterly change this thread, whatever the results, and ICE CUBE will go progressively online since it employs some 4200 receptors and can operate independently and as a sub collective before all are installed, with results just getting better all the time. ICE CUBE is expected to operate over 20 years, which may humble a few in this thread as to just how far away we are from anything really conclusive. Getting out on the edge may be exciting and fun, but it can also be frivolous and/or disappointing to those who stake their reputations prematurely on edgy concepts. As stated in Sagan's "Contact".... "Small steps!" are best.
