If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at forums@fqxi.org with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion. Please note that we receive many such suggestions and while we endeavour to respond to them, we may not be able to reply to all suggestions.
Please also note that we do not accept unsolicited posts and we cannot review, or open new threads for, unsolicited articles or papers. Requests to review or post such materials will not be answered. If you have your own novel physics theory or model, which you would like to post for further discussion among then FQXi community, then please add them directly to the "Alternative Models of Reality" thread, or to the "Alternative Models of Cosmology" thread. Thank you.

Have physicists considered the possibility that quantum physics differ from macro level physics because macro level physics has organization. Quantum level particles behave as independent individuals able to each do their own things like individual humans.
Larger "particles" are collections that behave as a group instead of as individuals just like the way humans may behave differently as individuals and as groups.
Gravity may be a function of organization meaning that there isn't a quantum level equivalent to gravity. Gravity doesn't just confine matter to a general location. It allows matter within its confines to be distributed according to density of areas of matter. For example, a human holding a tank of helium and a large uninflated balloon cannot rise above the ground. However if sufficient helium is released into the balloon, even though the total mass won't change, its distribution over a larger area allows it to rise above the land.

If the same tank is feeding the balloon so that Tank-Balloon-Human form a connected system, "Full Pressurized Liquid Container" (TANK) to "Empty Unpressurized Gas Container (BALLOON) then it should be possible to rise off the ground by emptying the tank chamber into the empty balloon chamber?..to get the liquid into the balloon as a gas would be easy, getting the gas back into the tank, as liquid would be tricky, the devise needed would actually have "weight" and temperature ?
When one looks a systems one-way, say for gravitation, or a helium filled balloon, it is often the case that this is not always the full and complete story?
