Fizičari su naviknuti na ideju da se subatomske čestice ponašaju prema bizarnim pravilima kvantne mehanike, za razliku od predmeta u čovjekovim razmjerima veličine. U velikom istraživanju, Aaron O'Connell je tu razliku učinio upitnom stvorivši predmet koji je i vidljiv golom oku, ali i dokazano na dva mjesta u isto vrijeme. U ovom govoru predlaže intrigantan način razmišljanja o ovom rezultatu.

Aaron O'Connell: Shvatiti vidljivi kvantni predmet

Quantum mechanics, once thought to govern only tiny particles, now applies to objects visible to the naked eye. In a stunning experiment, a tiny metal chip was placed into a quantum superposition, meaning it was both vibrating and not vibrating at once. This blurs the line between the familiar world and the bizarre quantum realm. The experiment challenges the intuition that large objects behave differently from atoms, hinting that everything, even people, may be fundamentally quantum.
