The Quantum Leap

The quantum leap is not new to science and in fact quantum mechanics have been used to explain precise energy changes in subatomic particles for years. Electrons spinning around a proton nucleus will abruptly jump from one orbit to another resulting in a change of energy in the electron. Such changes are very minute, but they are instantaneous and quantifiable.

In all action, the quantum leap follows exactly the same principles. Take, for example, a tossed ball. It's journey can be subdivided into millions of quantum leaps and immobile moments: long leaps as the ball gains velocity and momentum, then shorter leaps as it slows, hits the ground and rolls to a stop.

The leaps may be variable, but the immobile moment between each leap is constant. Like the electron, each moment characterizes a measurable change of state for the ball, a change that occurs during the quantum leap in no time at all.

Eventually , the energy that causes the ball's displacement decreases to equal its resisting forces, and the ball ceases to leap outside the limitation of its own form. In other words, the resting ball on the floor continues to leap from past to present simultaneously with the earth's own quantum leap. It does not change relative position with the earth but continues to leap with the earth.

Time is constant, velocity variable.
