You know Joseph, I actually wrote about this topic earlier on my own site. This post has really provided me with some food for thought, I think that you make some very interesting points. In fact, I wish I had found it before writing my own article. – bowlegged148

Not sure what they mean by 10-6g.

The piano will move the earth more but it will be negligible, even on the quantum scale. It will even be small compared to the tides or people in China waking up and standing.

First, how did it experence 10-6g? Doesn’t a falling object fall at 1g?

Second, a piano will theoretically fall faster than a pebble, because the piano will pull the earth towards itself more as it falls, and will thus reach the ground sooner. Granted, the amount is infinitesimal, but if you are talking quantum scales, do these differences matter?

This is a fascinating experiment, the recent advances of physics are simply amazing, and their potential benefits are enormous. Good article, see mine on physics theories here: http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Ten-Physics-Theories-You-Should-Know
