| contents | John Bell coined the phrase ``Infamous Boundary" for the point where classical physics splits off from quantum physics. Many authors, including the present one, have advanced theories with the intention of defining and locating this ``shifty split"; most propose that it lies somewhere on the scale of apparatus. But what if it resides at the level of macromolecules? I show here that this question is intimately connected to the choice of thermal ensembles and to the so-called `Hund's Paradox' in quantum chemistry. I propose an experimental set-up that could in principle reveal the IB lurking in asymmetric macromolecules. |
