Rainmaker1973 shares springtail video with quantum physics framing
A video of a globular springtail's rapid jump—enabled by its spring-like furcula—is posted to X with the caption "Let me show you how quantum physics works," framing the insect's near-instantaneous movement as analogous to quantum teleportation.
“Let me show you how quantum physics works. This globular springtail is so fast is looks like it teleports itelf: this happens thanks to its spring-like furcula in a split second.”
