The "Borderworld" between Quantum and Classical Physics
A perpetual problem in physics has been that there is a discrepancy between where quantum mechanics holds, such as in microscopic phenomena, and where it falls apart at the macroscopic level. For example, photons and electron, under quantum theory, are able to be in two places at once yet there has been no evidence of this happening in the visual world i.e. people are not bi-locating.
Thinking about this today in Physics class made me ponder the possibilities that perhaps the borderland between the quantum and classical world is due to gravity. It is my understanding that gravity is a curvature in spacetime and thus would it possible that particles such as electrons and photons are affected by the curve and fall into place in a single spot? Or perhaps gravitons (or some other such particle) create an attractive field and as photons etc. pass through them they stick together into a single entity due to the attractiveness of gravity? Kind of like going through a "security checkpoint" of sorts for classical mechanics.
I was wondering if you good guys were able to help me prove / refute such a notion. Along with this, I'm also toying around with multi-dimensional gravitons and the like but for now I'd like to keep thing rather simple
