    In terms of precision, I’m pretty sure LIGO is the most accurate measuring device ever created, and its not even close.

    IIRC it can measure fluctuations in spacetime half the width of a proton at the distance of the diameter of our solar system.

    It also hasn’t found magic energy crystals or whatever, but I’m just typing.
