The beginning: where is it ?

Quantum probably comes from Latin and means: how much.

If you use a model of a big ball then there is a frontier
between the ball and outside of the ball.
And if there is no outside of the universe then the model of a ball is not good.

Can we use a model of a ball in physical condition: T= 0K?

Where are the First Laws of Existence?

Socratus, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Above I explained that the quantum of light is not abstract.
Plus the 'ideal gas' is not a quantum thing.
It is a classical concept, and therefore doesn't work well with QT.

Bill Gill expressed the common opinion that :
Light is not abstract.
The 'ideal gas' is not a quantum thing. It is a classical
concept, and therefore doesn't work well with QT.

My dilettanti opinion.

ABC introduction.
Every phenomena has its own reference frame.
Every particle has its own reference frame.
For example.
To study the behaviour of whale we need ocean.
To study the behaviour of elephant we need savanna.
To study a Higg's boson we need vacuum system.
Etc.
It is impossible to understand process without reference frame.
Research is impossible without reference frame
Physics without a reference frame is abstract and
paradoxical doctrine.
Questions:
1.
Why does Dirac’s sea ( as a reference frame) have not
physical parameters?
2
Why does Minkowski space (-4D as a reference frame)
have not physical parameters?
3.
QT and SRT are two fundamental theories in physics.
We don’t know their reference frame and we don’t trouble
very much.
========.
#
I say the ' Ideal gas' is reference frame for QT and SRT.
Why I say so?
1.
Minkowski space (-4D) is negative space and
' Ideal gas' has negative parameter: T=0K.
2.
Many negative particles exist in Dirac’s sea / vacuum.
It is possible if Dirac’s sea / vacuum itself is negative system.
Therefore the negative ' Ideal gas' belongs to QT too.
Therefore all laws of ' Ideal gas' belongs to QT, SRT and QED.

Task.
We have: Pseudo - Euclidian space with ' Ideal gas T=0K'
with ‘ ideal –virtual Dirac particles’ and with ‘ ideal laws’.

Needs to find:
The first laws of Existence.

Let us say that quantum of light is an abstract particle

The 'quantum' isn't a particle, it's more like a measure or amount, in the same way that 'ounce' and 'gram' are amounts of weight; 'mile' and 'inch' are amounts of distance; 'litre' and 'gallon' are amounts of volume. The word 'quantum' is used to refer to the smallest possible 'amount' of energy. So a particle, (for example an electron) can only have certain discrete levels of energy, and cannot, even theoretically, exist in a state part-way between these levels. Imagine the particle at some moment has a certain level of energy, and the next moment it has a lower (or higher) level of energy, without at any time being in a state that is partway between those two levels. Difficult to picture, isn't it? And it hardly makes sense to us. But this is what existence is really 'like' on the sub-atomic scale. The smallest possible 'amount' of energy that the particle can gain or lose is what the word 'quantum' refers to.

Hi Thundril,

Welcome to the forum. I just wanted to clarify what you mean here. Do you mean to say that an electron can exhibit different states of energy but that the change between the 2 states is nonexistent? And it is this measure of energy that is the definition of the word "quantum?

(sorry in advance for my ignorance. I just want to follow along in order to learn.)

Answering for Thundril, yes, that's pretty much it. The electron is at one energy level, and then it "jumps" to another energy level, never actually moving in between the two levels. If you're familiar with computer graphics, a "quantum" is sort of like a "pixel". On your monitor, a dot is either in one pixel or the one next to it, there is no way for something to be in between the two pixels, and a dot doesn't actually move from one pixel to the next, it "jumps" directly from one to the one next to it. A pixel is the quantum of the picture on the screen.
