40.1. DOUBLE PLAY OF QUANTUM MECHANICS 187
• The Einsteinian proposition and Bohr’s content-wise identical frequency conditions
are currently one of the most certain laws that obtain in physics.
The Einstein Prize motivation found the thin edge between plus and minus infinity:
• For his services to theoretical physics, in particular for his discovery of
the law of the photoelectric effect (P + W = hν).
• ...without taking into account the value which will be accorded your relativity
and gravitation after these are confirmed in the future (in a cover letter).
In short: Einstein’s derivation of the law of the photoelectric effect and his relativity
theory were rejected and what remained was only a “discovery” of a physical
law (which in fact had been “discovered” before by Hertz), which was then boosted
as the foundation of modern physics.
40.1 Double Play of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is based on a confusion between eigenvalues (discrete numbers)
and eigenstates (continuous functions):
• discrete quanta of energy and light (eigenstates)
• discrete atomic energy levels (eigenvalues)
