Can a visible object be in two places at once?
In short: Quantum mechanics usually governs only the subatomic world, but new experiments are blurring those boundaries. This video explores how physicists created a visible object that is provably in two places simultaneously.
While subatomic particles follow bizarre quantum rules that differ from human-scale objects, physicist Aaron O'Connell has challenged this distinction. He has demonstrated a visible object that exists in two places at the same time.
This breakthrough experiment offers an intriguing new way to think about the relationship between the quantum and classical worlds.
