based on my calculations the tardigrade would weight about 1e-8 kg or 1e-5 grams. Carbon is 12 grams per mole which is 1e23, or 1e21 atoms per gram. So we would get 1e16 atoms in a tardigrade (give or take a few orders of magnitude).<p>Wouldn&#x27;t quantum entanglement be quite impossible since it&#x27;s a macroscopic object.

This sounds just like the tardigrade surfing the mycelium network in Star Trek Discovery.
