Gravity forces objects in quantum superposition to choose one definite state almost instantly—the heavier the object, the faster the choice.

Gravity abhors quantum uncertainty. Like a star collapsing into a black hole, heavy objects' superpositions are destroyed by their own gravity. Collapse time is inversely related to mass: massive bodies instantly become definite. This is how our crisp classical world emerges.

🎯 If the Moon could exist in quantum superposition, its own gravity would collapse the uncertainty in billionths of a second.

t \propto \frac{1}{M}
t is the collapse time, M is the system's mass
