ELI5, is it theoretically possible to have a particle is big enough to behave like a planet? I’m using planet as a device to act as the counter to the particle behavior because I don’t know them correct term.
Is there a mass or property that is the teetering point between acting like a planet vs a particle? If we find a particle with a massive mass, would it be possible that it might act like a planet.
I’m guessing I’m missing a key piece of understanding….

So everything has wave like properties no matter how massive. It’s just those properties become effective zeros when scaled to sizes you and I can see. When we call the wave length of a particle zero is mostly just made up as any number is as good as the one next to it as the wavelength is set to a smooth scale. That said I think most qualify it as when it stops displaying wave behavior in the double slit experiment which is about 100 atoms large last I heard.
