We know that a molecule's histories can interfere with each other: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment In 2013, the double-slit experiment was successfully performed with molecules that each comprised 810 atoms (whose total mass was over 10,000 atomic mass units <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass_units>). Does this mean that a molecule's properties can be separated from itself? @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
