“If the disturbance to an object caused by an observation”
Michael D. Fayer, Absolutely Small: How Quantum Theory Explains Our Everyday World
“absolute size—An object is large or small not by comparison to another object, but rather by comparison to the intrinsic minimum disturbance that accompanies a measurement. If the disturbance is negligible, the object is large in an absolute sense. If the intrinsic minimum disturbance is nonnegligible, the object is absolutely small.”
