Bad news for big scope fans

[hes not well again]

I was listening to a podcast the other day in which it was postulated that the next generation of scopes, including space bourn. Will be up against the fundamental 'grainyness' of the universe due to the tiny amounts of gravity from quantum effects. Have we finally come to the end of optical scopes? Are there any voluntary organisations that can help us rehabilitate?

Interesting...not heard that before.

Who made the podcast?

Do you have a link to share?

Would this confirm quantum loop gravity and, maybe , do for string theory? If so it would be the observation of the century. Bring it on!

The item was on The Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast, the No542 Nov 28 about 10 mins 30 secs in not sure how to post a link but google should do it. I am just listening to it again, they say the problem is at the Planck scale and is from a report by the International Astronomical Union.
