Any clue what this would be?
Confusing tweet found on twitter about June 28th and 29th
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the anticipated Nanograv news conference, which is expected to reveal findings related to signals from collisions of supermassive black holes. These signals are significant because they cannot be detected by LIGO, highlighting a different aspect of gravitational wave research. The conversation notes that while the topic may not directly relate to the "foundations of physics," the information shared on social media platforms may lack precision.

I bet it's the scheduled Nanograv news conference. It has to do with signals from collisions of supermassive black holes, which can't be detected by LIGO. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/nanograv-results-on-thursday-june-29.1053481/
This wouldn't really have anything to do with the "foundations of physics," but you can't expect precision from tweets.

"In 2013, after a series of hospitalizations due to magnets, New Zealand government officials permanently banned the sale of those made from neodymium-iron-boron (NIB)."

"A 13-year-old boy in New Zealand has had part of his bowel surgically removed after he ingested nearly 200 high-powered magnets. (2025)"
OK, this teen was a fool, but it is not always a teen, it is not always...
