WHAT DOES MACROSCOPIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Macroscopic scale

The macroscopic scale is the length scale on which objects or phenomena are large enough to be visible practically with the naked eye, without magnifying devices. When applied to physical phenomena and bodies, the macroscopic scale describes things as a person can directly perceive them, without the aid of magnifying devices. This is in contrast to observations or theories of objects of geometric lengths smaller than perhaps some hundreds of micrometers. A macroscopic view of a ball is just that: a ball. A microscopic view could reveal a thick round skin seemingly composed entirely of puckered cracks and fissures or, further down in scale, a collection of molecules in a roughly spherical shape. Classical mechanics may describe the interactions of the above mentioned ball. It can be considered a mainly macroscopic theory. On the much smaller scale of atoms and molecules, classical mechanics may not apply, and the interactions of particles is then described by quantum mechanics. As another example, near the absolute minimum of temperature, the Bose–Einstein condensate exhibits elementary quantum effects on macroscopic scale. The term "megascopic" is a synonym.

Definition of macroscopic in the English dictionary

The definition of macroscopic in the dictionary is comprehensive; concerned with large units. Other definition of macroscopic is capable of being described by the statistical properties of a large number of parts.

5
Aaron D. O'Connell
If I realize that actually there's quantum mechanics happening around us all the time in some macroscopic, interconnected way, then that doesn't change my perception of it, that doesn't change my interaction with it; it just changes how I view my interaction.
