But they did show that a  tiny resonating strip of metal \u2013 only 60 micrometres long, but big  enough to be seen without a microscope \u2013 can both oscillate and not  oscillate at the same time. Alas, you couldn&#8217;t actually see the effect  happening, because that very act of observation would take it out of  superposition.                                                                                                    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We talk about quantum weirdness and  things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and  molecules, stuff we don&#8217;t normally interact with,&#8221; says O&#8217;Connell, who  presented the results at the March meeting of  the American Physical Society in Portland, Oregon, today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"infuse\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn18669-first-quantum-effects-seen-in-visible-object.html\">\u039c\u03b5 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba \u03b5\u03b4\u03ce \u03b8\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b2\u03ac\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03cc\u03bb\u03bf \u03c4\u03bf \u03ac\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf New Scientist&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia;\">\u039a\u03b9 \u03b5\u03b4\u03ce \u03bc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b5\u03af\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b2\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/topic\/quantum-world\">\u039a\u03b2\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u039a\u03cc\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf (Quantum World)<\/a> \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 New Scientist!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\u03b8\u03ad\u03bb\u03c9 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b2\u03ac\u03c3\u03c9 \u03c4\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u03a0\u03b7\u03b3\u03ae: New Scientist First quantum effects seen in visible object by Richard Webb Does Schr\u00f6dinger&#8217;s cat really exist?
