Disregarding references to the '80s TV series of the same title, I'm finding definitions and discussions about quantum mechanics, but none for the 'quantum leap', per se.
There's a proffered, at least partial explanatory speculation at: http://www.toequest.com/forum/quantu...mechanics.html |
Hi RP:
I must say, you and Your friend NB inspire me. You both make the wheels turn.
What is the quantum leap?
The ability to travel from one place to another without the need of a medium of propagation.
This is the same as recreation of a item from one place to another place.
This is not so impossible as it sounds. When you examine the basics. We are reasonably sure that time itself does not flow as a smooth process but as a series of quantum ticks. These ticks of time create a new dimension making it possible for two or more items to occupy the same space, as long as it is in a different time. Think about what movement is when you consider that time is not a smooth flow but a series of ticks. Space must also be quantified as well, or you end up with questions relative to “What happens between the ticks?” If space also is quantified, then there is nothing between the ticks.
If space is quantified and time is quantified then a movement is from one space quantum to the next in a quantum of time. This kind of movement is like a recreation process at every tick of the eternal creation clock. Therefore all motion is a quantum leap. If you will also note, this is also the device that results with the limit for the maximum speed C.
We know what the limit speed C equals. We then also know that the minimum quantum of space times the minimum quantum of time = C
