Actually Quantum Mechanics cn be applied to galaxies, and other large objects, it's just that the effects are generally un-noticable. Consider Hisenberg's Uncertainty pinciple. When applied to a moon the distance of uncertainty is much less that the size of the moon and so we ignore it. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
