>Energy is quantized in nature>Oh ok, then I guess energy exists in packages that can't be divided, this must be because of the nature of energy>but if you change the system the energy step changes too, allowing you to reach energies that were forbidden beforeWTF? so those values are not actually forbidden in nature, the system just doesn't feel like allowing them in the current configuration?this is more mysterious than just quantization
Think in terms of mass and magnitude rather than perfect quantities, and it begins to make more sense.The real error here in humanity trying to make reality into a perfect packet of regular items.
>>16856491Your post makes no sense. I know those words but they make no sense in that order
>>16856490It isn't quantized in every single case. It's quantized for bounded states only. Go read a basic ass undergrad book on PDEs. If you got through that, I'd suggest reading books on harmonic analysis and why Fourier transforms on compact topological groups get "quantized".
>>16856495>you should know everything before you ask questions
>>16856545I didn't know "energy is quantized in nature" is a question. Sounds like a statement to me. A false statement too.
>>16856490>Scientist made up some bullshit in head.>So ... this is truth huh ?Literally why theoretical physicist needs to be kicked out form their jobs.
>>16856490>>Energy is quantized in natureNo, its not, it a complex multidimensional ratio of other base quantities. kg*m^2/s^2, so its not its own thing and it can be divided, its a measure of the work of an accelerating mass over space, so it is divided into mass, space, and force and its only the specific combination of all those things that stays in balance while all the individual units can change significantly as long as the ratio is maintained.
>>16856490PHOTONS are quantized, not energy; we have been able to do so much with photons (lasers) that we may as well consider the spectrum continuous in reality as well
>>16856747Photon quantization isn't even the same kind of quantization. It's field quantization aka "second quantization" and is a much more ill-defined notion.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_quantization
