Why would quantum mechanics be ''mostly'' unable to describe what happens on the macroscopic scale if one were able to fully calculate the equations of state for each elemental particle (i. e., quarks, gluons, electrons) from the (mass- and, in some way, age-dependent) 200–900 [[2946|ronnaparticles]] (or possibly up to 1–2 quettaparticles if we don't simplify baryons to 3 quarks and gluons)?

Started with an explanation. Wikilinks would be very useful. Get this done quickly; this will be confusing, even for xkcd readers. --DollarStoreBa'alConverse 22:16, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
I don't see why a large block of graphite wouldn't absorb the momentum effectively. If it's not working effectively enough, it's simply not large enough. Easy. --2A10:D586:3E93:0:1DF3:4522:835D:33DD 23:19, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Well, for one thing, the collision is too elastic, and you'll get reflection. And graphite is brittle. 163.116.145.79 15:32, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
I feel like there might be an implied reference to the Schlitterbahn Kansas City incident with their Verrückt ride. Obviously not the main, geek-oriented point, but maybe worth calling out? Kind of dark, in any case. 2605:A601:AC81:5C00:89A3:3829:B7F:41E6 01:48, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
