Quantum Mechanics Is Probably Wrong.

<p>O<strong>ne</strong>&nbsp;of the central claims of quantum theory is that there&rsquo;s a minimum amount of&nbsp;<em>action</em>&nbsp;that we can have in physical systems. Objects within physical systems do not move in smooth continua, but in discrete steps. Each of these steps may have a minimum length, minimum amount of duration, and minimum energy associated with them. We determine these minima by Planck&rsquo;s constant, discovered by Max Planck in 1900. In terms of energy, Planck&rsquo;s constant has an energy of 6.63 x 10^-34 Js. The problem with this is that there&rsquo;s a case to be made that action due to gravity has a lower value than this; the gravity between two atoms of ordinary hydrogen, for example, is far lower at 1.86 x 10^-62 Nm&sup3;/kg&sup2;. This transplackian problem of gravity also dogged Stephen Hawking when he was considering photons moving across black hole event horizons; their frequencies seemingly became infinite and, thereby, their wavelengths shrank beneath a Planck length.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/intuition/quantum-mechanics-is-probably-wrong-dd20c76838a1"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
