A small particle such as an electron which has "collapsed" into classical state 
has some probablity of regaining its quantum state, ie tunnelling.  Do larger 
masses also have some probabilty of entering a quantum state(albeit small)?  Or 
is this completely precluded by a larger mass' interactions with the 
environment?
