Life in the quantum realm means never sitting still. A photon doesn’t rest (or “stop”) because it turns out that achieving zero energy and, thus, complete predictability requires a bit more effort than it does to just buzz around in a probabilistic cloud. This inherent uncertainty of a quantum system requires it to fluctuate even at what should be dead zero. This is incredibly, fundamentally weird.

From link.

“Which is just another way of saying “until we make the system really, really cold.” This is where thermal effects are suppressed in favor of quantum fluctuations, which we can now observe in our resonator.”

I wonder, could the switch between quantum mechanics and general relativity be temperature-based? As opposed to size-based?
