which are super-precise laser interferometers which can measure changes in length of their 4km arms far shorter than a proton.

That's pretty amazing. I thought that interferometers were nifty before but I had no idea one so precise was possible.

I know, it seems surreal what they can do, but they even cool the optics way down to reduce the noise.

They talk about 1/1000th of a proton!
