Reading my daily science news I came across an interesting article that talks about how massive space objects have unexpected relationships to quantum mechanical mathematics.
I was quite surprised to hear this, as I have always been told and found that QM and Astrophysics are very different fields and do not much correlate. It is surprising even to me how a quantum mechanical equation can describe something on the large scale.
Enormous disks of stars or debris can operate under the same rules as subatomic particles, changing based on the Schrodinger equation, which physicists use to model quantum-mechanical systems.
California Institute of Technology researcher Konstantin Batygin has come across such conclusion when studying astrophysical disks.
