" that energy

(motion times time)

does not occur in a continuous stream , on the contrary, it can only occur in fixed , discreet amounts

(that he called quanta)

and that quanta grow larger as the wavelength get smaller "

 

approximately doubling and halving

examples...

for 100 metre wavelengths 100 quanta

for 50 metre wavelengths 200 quanta

for 25 metre wavelengths 400 quanta

  derived from planck 's postulate

 

classical mechanics ( analogue )

that as the suns mass dissipates

( 4 million tons every second )

the gravitational pull on the earth decreases accordingly ( newton's third "law" )

so that a gradual increase of the distance between of the earth of the sun occurs micro second by micro second

 

quantum mechanics ( digital )

that no change in position can occur until a minimum energy exchange ( planck’s constant or a multiple of it ) has taken place

this means that when the sun's mass decreases by a certain amount its gravitational hold on the earth causes the earth to reposition itself in a quantum jump movement and the flood happens

 

quantum theory is truly all pervasive
