" 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
