Why Don't Large Things Behave Like Quantum Particles? #shorts

That’s the answer of a question I wanted to know ever since I knew about quantum physics. Thank you!

One of the very BEST science educators out there!

10^15 atoms is an extreme underestimation. Squash ball has a mass of 23-25 grams, the main ingredient is rubber with atoms of C, H and S, the most prevalent ones are H and C with molar mass of 1 and 12. So, by estimate a squash ball can have at least 2 moles of atoms meaning the number of atoms is around 2 times Avogadro number which is 6, 02*10^23. So you underestimated it by the factor of 1 billion (10^9).

This is actually really crazy. I didn’t know they have gotten better coherence on that scale. Well, there goes my week I’ll be in front of the computer lol.

It is possible to get large object to act as quantum wave in coherent manner: example Helium Superfluid.

I love when you say it's called decoherence after you explained it. Naming is misleading most of the time for example when we say particle spin 🙄

[tesos]

That is the first time I have heard this explained, but it is how I have always explained it.

[Roust]

Bose-Einstein condensate should be called quantum condensation to be descriptive of what is going on.

A squash ball made of 10^15 atoms? Sounds way, way off. That would imply roughly 10^5 atoms wide in each dimension. A squash ball is 40mm wide, implying the width between two atoms is 4 micrometers. Actual distance between atoms is less than 200 picometers, over 20, 000 times less. Multiplying by three dimensions, it seems the squash ball should have 8 trillion times more atoms than 10^15, or almost 10^28 atoms.

I think you read my mind. I was just thinking about this subject, trying to reason about it, to see if I really understand it. Thank you for explaining it so clearly.

[donmcatee]

Maybe only 1% of them in uniform, could you imagine 100%? That thing would destroy everything around it

[StarbornCthulhu]

Not feasible doesn't not mean impossible. That's a slightly terrifying thought

[ingoh.]

For a squash ball we only need to improve by 10E11! Let‘s Go! 😂

[ZaphodB]

Bose-Einstein-condensate would be a coherent form of matter.

[ManyHeavens]

Same way sound moves through a wave.or Makes a Wave.?

[sciencespectrum]

Is quantum physics a relative subject according to size of observers

[npc]

i was literally just studying this in the university

[JackPullen-Paradox]

Is an object that just reaches decoherence free of determinism at that moment?

[RelaxMode]

your shorts videos are the best, keep going!

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for. The double slit experiment was able to be repeated with larger molecules with the disturbance pattern and I think I have an argument against the “conscious particle” theory where people believe these quantum vibrations are reacting to the act of being consciously observed and changing their properties accordingly. I do not think so, I think it had to do with something within the experiment itself physically, therefor “quantumly” lol interacting with these electrons and forcing a certain behavior
