Since Bohr set out his interpretation of Quantum Mechanics which
separated small quantum systems from classical measuring systems, the question
as to whether or not there was a physical division between the quantum and the
classical. Is there some criterion which divides the world into quantum bits
and classical bits? Experiments are not answering the question. In particular
I will argue that the 40Kg mirrors of Ligo have already been shown to be
quantum by showing that that the quantum noise of Ligo arises from an
