"New calculations show how hypothetical particles called gravitons would give rise to a special kind of noise. "

"The extreme weakness of quantum gravitational effects now poses some philosophical problems; maybe nature is trying to tell us something new here, maybe we should not try to quantize gravity. Is it possible perhaps that we should not insist on a uniformity of nature that would make everything quantized? Is it possible that gravity is not quantized and all the rest of the world is?" - Feynman lectures on gravitation
