The quantum-classical boundary

2013 
I claim that for macroscopic objects consisting of more than Avo- gadro’s number of atoms, any supposed quantum state is negligibly small, so that for all practical purposes the object is best described by classical mechanics. I argue that this follows from a reasonable upper bound on physically possible proper acceleration.
