The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

I know it has to do with the scale of the human body in relation to Planck's constant but can anyone explain it any further? "The World is my country, science my religion" - Christiaan Huygens Bookmark/Search this post with: |

It's ok I worked it out. It' because wavelength = Plank's constant/momentum of particle, and momentum=mass x velocity. With a large mass (such a s person) the denominator becomes so large as to approximate the wavength to zero.

Yep.
In fact the only particles of matter that actually have noticeble wavelengths are electrons (and things with less mass).
Whew. That was suspenseful.
