Why our human-sized world behaves classically, not quantum-mechanically: A popular non-technical exposition of a new idea

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This article provides a popular, largely non-technical explanation of how large objects can behave classically while smaller objects behave quantum mechanically, based on the effect of the presence of cosmic expansion velocities in extended objects. This article is intended to provide a more accessible presentation of concepts introduced in earlier papers that address this long-standing enigma in physics.
