[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 1248125, member: 4129"] I remembered hearing something about them doing the dual wave/particle and other quantum handiwork experiments with bucky balls, which are big closed loop molecules of carbon atoms, think like a soccer ball with a C atom at each apex. I also just found this article, which states they did it with a molecules containing 800 atoms in 2013: [URL]https://medium.com/the-physics-arxiv-blog/physicists-smash-record-for-wave-particle-duality-462c39db8e7b[/URL] Not quite the macro level, but orders of magnitude higher than individual protons or whatever. I find the quantum world fascinating, and started readin much more about it after coming across this book by a guy named Jim Al-Khalili [url=https://www.amazon.ca/Quantum-Perplexed-Dr-Jim-Al-Khalili/dp/1841882380]Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed[/url] Researched the guy a bit more, and has some decent pop-sci/BBC style documentaries on youtube, and here's one that links the quantum world with biology, where he theorizes that quantum changes from individual particles being detected in brains can be responsible for a host of otherwise poorly understood phenomena such as how birds find north.
