"Detecting Quantum Behavior in Macroscopic Objects: A Breakthrough by Physicists"

TL;DR Summary
Physicists have proposed a novel experiment to detect quantum behavior in large objects, challenging the traditional view that quantum effects are limited to tiny particles. The experiment involves observing the motion of an object, such as a ball on a pendulum, and flashing light at different times to determine if quantum behavior is occurring. If successful, this could provide evidence of quantum fuzziness on a larger scale and potentially be tested using the mirrors at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US.
