I'll try to explain but I'm not writing in English. I'll try to give some sense of wonder here. Not sure how much of this I'll be putting in the story because 1. it doesn't really need it and 2. self-confidence issues. Anyway, here's the pile of bullshit:

This is a few centuries in our future. People have cleared a large area of space in the solar system from every asteroid larger than 10 meters and surrounded it with drones whose job is to repel objects in order to prevent gravitational perturbations since the experiment needs to happen in a real zero gravity environment. Everything in the experiment is center-symmetrical because of that; even the artificial consciousness that has been sent to overlook it has been duplicated in two different but perfectly symmetrically placed bodies and is bound to act deterministically until the experiments yields its results so their movements are symmetrical and perfectly in sync. An algorithm has been made to predetermine the appearance of temporary Lagrange superpoints towards the entire solar system. Not a chance has been left to chance.

The principle of the experiment itself is to build some of those monatomic chains and hurl them at each other in particle accelerators so that atoms collide at a very high frequency (However the speed must go down very progressively in order to keep the chains tense and perfectly straight). The experiment is designed in order to search for a certain collision frequency at which, theoretically, the chain will break, showing evidence for a resonance. The hypothesis being tested is that the quantum foam is no foam, particle-antiparticle pairs don't appear at random in space, they're only signs of what's stored in the underlying quantum space. The goal of the experiment is to determine the size of the quantized space unit.

Man, it was not that hard doing it in English after all.
