It is possible that new physics of quantum geometry at the Planck scale has observable effects on macroscopic scales. There may be no such thing as a massive body at rest; there may be a universal noise in position with Planck spectral density. Some theoretical motivations behind this idea will be reviewed, and an experiment now underway at Fermilab to test it will be described.
