@gutenberg_org @wikipedia By postulating that chemical change was no more than the recombination of atoms - with fixed and *quantized* mass - founded almost a century before quantized energy. 🤷‍♂️

@compoundchem is the true founder of because his correctly quantized MASS to explain observations in 🧪 almost a century before quantized energy to avoid the ‘ultraviolet catastrophe’ :oh_no_bubble:.

Cool, accessible article over at about the strangeness and complexity of atoms and their components, and how the popular idea that atoms are mostly empty space is problematic.
(The author mentions an episode of Cosmos in which Sagan says that, and which I remember vividly despite the decades in between)

@gutenberg_org Chemists have understood the atomic nature of physical reality since the beginning of the 19th century when correctly postulated that atoms were not inert, and their mass was quantized. Btw, he is thus actually the founder of as well. 🤷‍♂️

Born in 1900, Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was an Austrian theoretical physicist and one of the pioneers of quantum physics.

In 1945, after having been nominated by Albert Einstein, Pauli received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "decisive contribution through his discovery of a new law of Nature, the exclusion principle or Pauli principle". His discovery involved spin theory, which is the basis of a theory of the structure of matter.

Are we to settle on the notion of identity as nothing more a useful idealization that allows us to predict the behavior of quantal entities?

This is the kind of shit that pushes me back into the arms of Leibnitzian monadology.

As said: “No entity without identity!”

I posted this on my now (by ) account, so I guess I need to repeat it here: needs to change its “History of Quantum Theory” page ⬇️, and set back the birth of to 1803, when correctly hypothesized that *mass* is quantized!
