How 'spooky' quantum mechanical laws may affect everyday objects (Update)
"And because these electrons have an electrical charge, they exert a
piezoelectric force on the crystal, making it move. "The remarkable
thing is that only 10,000 or so electrons are able to make all 1020 (100
quintillion) atoms in the crystal move at once," said Blencowe.

"The difference in size between the two parts of the system is really
extreme," Blencowe explained. "To give a sense of perspective, imagine
that the 10,000 electrons correspond to something small but macroscopic,
like a flea. To complete the analogy, the crystal would have to be the
size of Mt. Everest. If we imagine the flea jumping on Mt. Everest to
make it move, then the resulting vibrations would be on the order of
meters!""
