...which does beg the brain teaser question, can you pass through a doorway so slowly [de Broglie Wavelength] that you diffract? What happens, or why not?

 

[mfb]

Too many distractions (too much interaction with the environment) to walk through a doorway coherently.

Such as...?

There is one thing that ensures no one can run the experiment and get results even under ideal [Perfect] conditions.

 

[mfb]

Radiation in both directions, electromagnetic fields from the human, collisions with gas molecules even in the best vacuum we could make. Probably even gravitational interactions at that level.

Motion due to temperature is one problem.

But all that aside, even if we run it at near absolute zero in deep space while heavily shielded by a structure imposing zero net gravity, there is still a reason not mentioned as to why the experiment would not yield useful results...

 

[mfb]

A human at absolute zero is dead, and I don't think you can create a condition where there is no gravitational influence leading to decoherence.

It still works if you're dead. And if what you say about gravity is true, then how could any deBroglie wavelength experiment work?

But that aside, how long would it take to run the experiment? If the door is about 1 meter wide, then the frozen human body needs to have a wavelength of about 1 meter. Assuming a mass of 100 Kg... given the required velocity, IIRC the universe isn't old enough to have run the experiment.

The funeral home is a fake...

I wondered about that.
I am extremely skeptical of anything online these days.

The experiments are done with much lighter objects.

Compared to the other obstacles I think this is a minor concern.

Cool. Let me see the proof.

What little I drank, I am reducing even more. Not only does it give me murderous heartburn - which means I don't sleep, but - as the only driver in my fam - it can wreak havoc on evening plans. It's just too much of a hassle.

Twice in my life I drank to excess, mostly to see what it was like. The resulting euphoria was negligible, the loss of dexterity and control annoying and the aftereffects painful. So I never developed the taste or the habit. Clearly I do not have the alcoholism gene.

About once a year I get the feeling I'd like a drink. So I lie down until the feeling goes away. :)

I will have a little Dom if I buy it for my GF but only a half a glass or so. No sense ruining a hot date!

Apparently I had not read the chapter ahead of time, so when my old-school Swiss physics professor walked in and introduced the concept of canonical coordinates, I thought he meant conical coordinates but was drunk.

prof. can we not do projectile motion problems without air resistance and instead do some real physics like unifying gravity with quantum mechanics??!
