Quantum Definitions and a Pile of Salt


When it comes to communication, things quantum are crazy makers … they are for me anyway. I hear about quantum this or that and my truth bells start ringing. I experience an instant of synchronized brain harmony. It doesn't matter if a concept originated in the mind of an Einstein or the mind of God. I'm there ~ I'm connected … soaking up insight and happy dancing.

In these twinkling states, I greet quantum on equal terms. Aware these points of awe are fleeting, I make mental notes to pursue quantum nuances when I come to ground. Once back in normal consciousness, I pull out the research and resource tools.

Whappo! Talk about getting smacked down like a fly headed for pie! Reality check: … I'm so not a scientist. I'm not much of a messenger, either ... carrying data from an altered state to daily life is a skill I have yet to master.

It's not a completely lost cause, though. One thing my logical and intuitive mind-sets agree on: … truth is where you find it. Intuitively, I understand ... it's my intellect that needs assistance. To help my logical self over the hurdles, I make notes ~ it's sort of the mental equivalent of pacing the floor.

daDancinCrone's Unofficial Guide to Quantum Stuff

Quanta:
… plural of quantum
... small, distinct units

Quantum:
… from Latin meaning 'how much'
… refers to the smallest amount of a physical quantity that can exist on its own

Quantum Packet:
… a single amount of quantum energy is identified as a packet
… light waves, for example, contain multiple energy packets

Quantum System:
… an organized grouping of recognized principles and peculiarities relating to a quantum observation

Quantum Physics, Quantum Theory, Quantum Mechanics:
… these terms are often used interchangeably
… read slowly when encountering them

Quantum Physics:
… branch of physics that deals with matter on the atomic level ~ ie, it's the physics of the very small
… describes and predicts properties of a physical system based on quantum theory discoveries

Quantum Theory:
… group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for quantum phenomena
… explanation(s) of matter and energy that views energy in small, distinct units ~ quanta ~ which are released and absorbed
… says all matter displays properties of both waves and particles ~ as does light

Quantum Mechanics:
… how quantum things function
… another way to say = deals with the operational qualities of matter
… suggests the behavior of matter and energy is inherently probabilistic
… indicates an observer of a physical system is part of the overall equation ~ ie, there is a relationship between a physical system being observed and the observer her/himself

Quantum State:
… deals with quantum relationships
… a defined environment that describes the conditions in which a physical system exists
… not all quantum states are alike ~ they vary
… states are based on properties like energy, motion and magnetics
… in addition to identified quantum states, new ones are emerging ~ gravity is one of the recent additions
… state(s) are delineated scientifically sets of numbers ~ which sounds like a remote viewing protocol
