11931 | Energy fields are discontinuous at the very small [Molnar] |
Full Idea: We know that all energy fields are discontinuous below the distance measured by Planck's constant h. The physical world ultimately consists of discrete objects. | |
From: George Molnar (Powers [1998], 2.2) | |
A reaction: This is where quantum theory clashes with relativity, since the latter holds space to be a continuum. I'm not sure about Molnar's use of the word 'objects' here. |
