Is it possible, in theory, to describe a macroscopic object with the Schrödinger equation (its location for example)?

The Schrödinger equation at the macro level is a mathematical equation that describes the behavior of particles and systems at the scale of everyday objects. It combines classical mechanics and quantum mechanics to predict the position and momentum of macroscopic objects.
At the macro level, the Schrödinger equation is used to describe the behavior of particles and systems in terms of their wave functions. These wave functions represent the probability of finding a particle in a particular state, and can be used to predict the overall behavior of macroscopic objects.
While the Schrödinger equation has been successful in predicting the behavior of microscopic particles, it is not as accurate at the macro level. This is due to the fact that macroscopic objects are subject to many more variables and interactions than individual particles, making it difficult to accurately predict their behavior.
One limitation of the Schrödinger equation at the macro level is that it does not take into account the effects of gravity. This is because the equation was developed for non-relativistic systems, and does not include the principles of general relativity. In addition, the equation also does not account for the uncertainty and unpredictability of macroscopic objects.
Despite its limitations, the Schrödinger equation at the macro level is still used in practical applications, such as in the development of new materials and technologies. It is also used in fields like chemistry and biology, where it can help predict the behavior of larger molecules and complex systems. Additionally, the principles of the Schrödinger equation have also been applied to fields such as economics and social sciences.
