Quantum Moon


I think I'm starting to get the hang of quantum physics, which is probably an indication that I'm not getting it at all.
Almost every physicist knows about the four fundamental forces in the universe- gravity, electromagnetism, weak atomic, and strong atomic. However, one force that is starting to feature itself more prominently is entropy. Like electromagnetism, entropy is the universe trying to unravel itself, breaking down more complex structures and reverting them to a more primitive state- chaos, if you will. One of the many proposed theories concerning this is that life as we know it just happened to evolve in one of the few low-entropy areas in the universe. Perhaps, then, there are places so chaotic that anything could happen to anything at any given moment?
Introducing the Quantum Planet.
Somehow, it managed to form more like an atom than any planet we have observed. As observed from its atmosphere, it seems to have a substantially large Schroedinger Belt- an area that works not on physics and physicality, but randomness and probability. This would drastically change the way anything works on the planet's surface, from basic electromagnetism to the complexity of tectonic movement. Life would be nearly impossible to create from the processes that generated life on Earth.
Of course, given the amount of entropy in the area, it probably wouldn't have to evolve.
