What The Title Means
Jun 25 2008, 2:36 AM EDT Quatom Means-Large Group Of Something Of Solace--From Wikipedia In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is an indivisible entity of a quantity that has the same units as the Planck constant and is related to both energy and momentum of elementary particles of matter (called fermions) and of photons and other bosons. The word comes from the Latin "quantus," for "how much." Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized", referred to as "quantization". This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete numerical values, rather than any value, at least within a range. There is a related term of quantum number. A photon is often referred to as a "light quantum." The energy of an electron bound to an atom (at rest) is said to be quantized, which results in the stability of atoms, and of matter in general. But these terms can be a little misleading, because what is quantized is this Planck's constant quantity whose units can be viewed as either energy multiplied by time or momentum multiplied by distance. Usually referred to as quantum "mechanics," it is regarded by virtually every professional physicist as the most fundamental framework we have for understanding and describing nature at the infinitesimal level, for the very practical reason that it works. It is "in the nature of things", not a more or less arbitrary human preference. 1 out of 10 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: What The Title Means
Nov 1 2008, 7:23 AM EDT Is anyone here actually interested in what QOS means? It is the title of the Ian Fleming short story from the FYEO collection. Fleming says: The story is about a man who meets and marries an air hostess after meeting her on a flight. However, after a posting to Bermuda their marriage began to unravel and when he finally leaves his wife, he makes sure he does everything possible to destroy her life. The story ends with the conclusion that a relationship “can survive anything so long as some kind of basic humanity exists between the two people” and that all kinds of obstacles can be overcome in a relationship, but not “the death of common humanity in one of the partners”. This is rather pretentiously calls this the “Quantum of Solace” - or as Bond explains it - “the amount of comforte, When the other person not only makes you feel insecure but actually seems to want to destroy you, it’s obviously the end. The Quantum of Solace stands at zero.” It is relevant to Bonds love of Vesper at the end of CR but also refers to the organisation 'Quantum' who Bond fights in QOS Do you find this valuable? |
