QUANTUM is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. No such BS exists in Nature, period

ORIGINS OF THE BUNK-TERM ‘QUANTUM’
Copyright 1-2025 Ken Wheeler
With Daniel Comstock, a physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he published in 1917 a semi-popular book on the modern theory of atoms, electricity and radiation. A section on the quantum theory of radiant energy included a discussion of “light atoms” or “the modern doctrine of light ‘quanta’,” of which Troland, who was the author of the section, clearly was in sympathy [Comstock and Troland 1917, pp. 182-189].
Gilbert N Lewis: In 1926, he coined the term "photon" for the smallest unit of radiant energy (light). Actually, the outcome of his letter to Nature magazine was not what he had intended. In the letter, he proposed a photon being a structural element, not energy. He insisted on the need for a new variable, the number of photons. Although his theory differed from the quantum theory of light introduced by Albert Einstein in 1905, his name was adopted for what Einstein had called a Light quantum (das Lichtquant in German).
THE VERY PERSON WHO POPULARIZED THE TERM “QUANTUM”, LEONARD TROLAND WAS:
“A researcher into psychical research and had carried out experiments in telepathy”
Nature MAGAZINE 29 OCT 1926: ”Instead of “light quantum” one should consider a “new kind of atom!” or what he called a PHOTON”
MODERN “SCIENTISTS” ARE NOT GENUINE SCIENTISTS, RATHER MOST ARE MATHEMATICIANS. THE CORE RELIGION OF MATHEMETICIANS IS THE DESIRE TO COUNT THINGS. WELL FIELDS ARE NOT THINGS, NOR PARTICLES, RATHER AETHER-MODALITIES.
QUANTUM ONLY MEANS “ITS ENERGY (A QUANTITY THEREOF)”
Quantum comes from Latin, meaning "an amount" or "how much?"
Max Planck postulated that “electromagnetic energy is absorbed or emitted in discrete packets, or quanta” = QUANTUM
QUANTUM MEANS A UNIT OF ENERGY MEASUREMENT
A MEASUREMENT IS NOT A THING!
A MILE IS NOT A THING IN NATURE
A GRAM NOT A THING IN NATURE
AN INCH NOT A THING IN NATURE
A POUND NOT A THING IN NATURE
A SECOND NOT A THING IN NATURE
A METER NOT A THING IN NATURE
A VOLT NOT A THING IN NATURE
AN AMP NOT A THING IN NATURE
A MEASURE OF ANY KIND AT ALL…. IS NOT A THING IN NATURE!
A MEASURE IS A STANDARD, …..AN AGREED UPON MEASURE OF SOMETHING IN NATURE
“A quantum (plural: quanta) is the smallest discrete unit of a phenomenon. For example, a quantum of light is a photon, and a quantum of electricity is an electron”
THE DISCOVERER OF THE PRINCIPLE OF THE “ELECTRON” WAS J.J. THOMPSON, WHO ACURATELY SAID WHAT THIS IS, WHICH IS NOT A PARTICLE, SUCH THAT HE CALLED IT “ONE UNIT OF DIELECTRIC INDUCTION”
“Nothing is more fantastical and a travesty of how nature works than is quantum theory. Its very basis has no relationship to reality.” –W. Russell
CONCEPTS THAT DO NOT EXIST IN NATURE, COSMOS
WAVES, SPACE, TIME, SHADOWS, EMPTINESS, CHAOS, QUANTUM, NEGATIVE-CHARGE, FORCE, ELECTRONS, PHOTONS, VIRTUAL-PHOTONS. (also too: miles, seconds, grams, meter, miles etc.)
Typical moron comments “What about Quantum Computers!?”
ANSWER: The uncertain outcome variable of charge does not reify the term “quantum”. I can call my microwave a “quantum atomic excitation box”, but this give no valitity to a term which is a reference to a MEASURE OF ENERGY.
QUANTUM. Noun plural quanta [kwon, -t, uh].
1. quantity or amount: the least quantum of evidence.
2. a particular amount.
3. a share or portion.
4. a large quantity; bulk.
Physics. 1. the smallest quantity of radiant energy, equal to Planck's constant times the frequency of the associated radiation.
A MEASURE OF ANY KIND, OF ANY THING. IS NOT A THING AT ALL, NOR IS A MEASURE FOUND IN NATURE.
A MEASURE IS AN AGREED UPON STANDARD OF MEASURE
CHECKMATE!
Been waiting for this one Ken! Thank you!
Great article, not that it matters in the big picture of the Cosmos, Sir Joseph John Thomson is spelled with out a p.
