Especially when you consider the unlikelihood of quantum events stacking up or "meaning something". According to my book, a subatomic particle can be anywhere in the universe at any time but the chances of finding a single electron 1cm away from where it's most likely to be are so small you'd have to wait for billions of times longer than the current age of the universe.
So where these quantum physicists get their fancy ideas from is beyond me when what you get taught at PHD level is the most unquestionably accurate math known.To coin a phrase, go figure. ---In [email protected], <anartaxius@...> wrote: In considering how the Wikipedia entry for quantum defines 'quantum' one wonders how it could be stretched to attempt to explain so many odd ideas" QUANTUM: In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be 'quantized', referred to as 'the hypothesis of quantization'. This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values.
