What relationship does this have, for instance, on the Space Station, where the people onboard are weightless; NO gravity? Why don’t we see some of this weird phenomina out there?
Inquiring minds want to know.....where to acquire some of the stuff these guys are smoking, maybe?

Even though the people on the Space Station are in ‘space’, they are not outside of a gravitational filed. They are still in the gravity well of Earth and the Sun with the Moon causing periodic perturbations.

They do age slower, though, since they are in a ‘micro-gravity’ situation...............

One can witness the slowing down of time by watching the extremely obese on My 600lb life. Imagine how long their days are laying around because they can’t get out of bed...

Just saying...

I believe that the article indicates that by the time you are talking about molecular sized assemblies, that the OBJECT ITSELF is sufficient to suppress the quantum effects on its own.

That's why you could have something like an alcohol molecule floating in a region of essentially "gravity free" interstellar space, and that molecule won't "wink in and out" of existence like a single sub-atomic quark or something.

They’re actually in ‘free fall’, where the sinking rate of their ship approximates the curvature of the earth. It’s the same effect as in the Vomit Comet, or their airplane which goes into a parabolic dive allowing those inside to “feel” weightless. Yet, still being in the atmosphere, the plane must pull out of the dive in only a few minutes.

At the distance to the Space Station, and outside the earth’s atmosphere, the effect seems continuous. But even its orbit will eventually decay, necessitating its evacuation, or somehow propelling it into a new, higher orbit.
