TL;DR

Physicists from University College London, the University of Southampton, and the Bose Institute have proposed a novel approach to measure quantum behavior in larger objects, challenging the traditional view that quantum physics only applies at small scales. Their experiment involves observing the motion of an object on a pendulum and flashing light at different times to see if quantum behavior is occurring. If successful, this could extend the domain of quantum mechanics and test its validity for larger masses, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the fundamental theory of nature.
