Although more than twenty years have passed since Shipman did her thesis, people are still interested in her findings

[The] unexpected  finding led Shipman to question whether there might be a profound connection between quantum physics at quark level and macroscopic physics at the level of honeybee dance. The average colleague of course regards this kind of proposal as crackpottery: the argument is that there simply cannot be any interaction between degrees of freedom in so vastly different length scales. Personally I however found this finding fascinating.
