Abstract: It’s not straight-forward to adequately and uncontroversially explain, in terms of theory testing alone, the significance of difficult proposed experiments to produce and observe gravitationally induced entanglement (GIE). I suggest (as others have previously) that experiment - or rather, the capacity for laboratory manipulation of different regimes of physics - involves its own kind of practical knowledge, distinct from theoretical knowledge. Appreciating such knowledge allows a better understanding of the significance of GIE experiments.
