Schrödinger's equation itself destroys quantum superpositions of large objects: microscopic chaos inside them is to blame.

Quantum weirdness vanishes as soon as objects become numerous. New research shows that billions of tiny particles inside any object create noise that, in a split second, turns the mystical superposition into ordinary reality. The discovery solves the central mystery of quantum mechanics — and no observer was needed.

🎯 In a mole of any substance, there are more particles than stars in the observable universe — and each one contributes to the noise that kills quantum uncertainty.

🎬 The idea of a cat being both alive and dead has inspired many sci-fi writers, from early short stories to the TV show 'Rick and Morty'.

P = |\psi|^2
The probability of obtaining a macrostate with wavefunction ψ equals the square of its modulus.
