Macro entanglement

Recent observations that may point to entanglement at larger scales are intriguing as it may aid a framework shift, something that is long overdue. This may degrade classical Physics to one of convenience rather than something with a defendable framework. Human scale observations are convenient for humans. If quantum effects are universal at all scales, then most of the effort currently wasted to empirically prove or disprove expectations based on status-quo, may have to be redirected. If the reason that quantum effects are not observed at macro-scale is that people have not been looking for it, it may have set humans back many decades.

Classical Physics has been enormously soothing for most involved and the human rationality is fundamentally based on it today. We reject and accept hypotheses based on crude and lumpy observations. This also means that little effort is expended to seek the unknown or explain the inexplicable. It has also neatly segmented theories into the micro and the macro, with no real requirement to connect them. Those in one bucket or the other, would rather spend their time going deep in their bucket – never worrying about the implications of what they find for those on the other side. This is efficient scientific research – one that maximizes the number of papers produced and increases the probability of a prize.

If quantum effects are indeed universal, regardless of scale, then one has to seriously question the current state of knowledge. If classical Physics evolved only as a matter of convenience, then it is time to move on.
