Quotes About Quanta

Dear Artificer, I've blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place!

At the head of these new discoveries and insights comes the establishment of the facts that electricity is composed of discrete particles of equal size, or quanta, and that light is an electromagnetic wave motion.

For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta.

Quantum theory has reached the point where the source of all matter and energy is a vacuum, a nothingness that contains all the possibilities of everything that has ever existed or could exist. These possibilities then emerge as probabilities before "collapsing" into localized quanta, manifesting as the particles in space and time that

Dear Artificer, I've blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place!

If everything we project onto reality to make it intelligible were eliminated, ? no things remain but only dynamic quanta, in a relation of tension to all other dynamic quanta.

quantum mechanics cannot deal with the curvature of spacetime, and general relativity cannot account for quanta. This is the problem of quantum gravity.

What are the elementary "atoms" that vibrate, making a black hole hot? Hawking left this problem unanswered. Loop theory provides a possible answer. The elementary "atoms" of a black hole that vibrate, responsible for its temperature, are the individual quanta of space on its surface.

Physical space is the fabric resulting from the ceaseless swarming of this web of relations. The lines themselves are nowhere-they are not in a place but rather create places through their interactions. Space is created by the interaction of individual quanta of gravity.

The quanta of gravity, that is, are not in space; they are themselves space. The spin networks that describe the quantum structure of the gravitational field are not immersed in space, they do not inhabit a space. The location of single quanta of space is not defined with regard to something else, but only by the links, and the relation these express.

the particles are quanta of quantum fields; light is formed by quanta of a field; space is nothing more than a field, which is also made of quanta;

The search for the meaning of temperature and entropy of matter led to the discovery of atoms. The search for the meaning of the temperature and entropy of radiation led to the discovery of quanta. In just the same way, the search for the meaning of the temperature and entropy of a black hole is now leading to the discovery of the atomic structure of space and time.

In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta.
