SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of mesoscopic physics and its implications for the measurement problem in quantum theory. Participants debate whether there exists a transitional zone between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena that could indicate new physics. Zz asserts that there is no empirical evidence supporting the existence of such a zone or the introduction of new physics at the mesoscopic scale, emphasizing that quantum theory has not yet demonstrated a known range of applicability in this context.
