“Quantum sensors can sense the tiniest of changes in the gravity or magnetic field and use a previously prepared map of these properties to determine their location. Since a quantum sensor does not need to receive or send a signal to an external device, it cannot be hacked or be spoofed by a fake incoming signal either. “ Very cool!

*Cant be Non-magnetically hacked

Cue magnetic mines, but where are you getting the gravitic mines from?

If it works off tiny changes in gravity, a really big rock would work.

Our mission is to sneak this Ayers rock under the boat without being detected. In and out. 45 minutes tops.
Most people probably don’t know but we call it Uluru these days as that’s what the local Aboriginal people named it. Ayers Rock is the old coloniser name, and pretty out of fashion.

I know and I am sorry, but the joke would have gone over the head for most of the people if I had said Uluru.
