Fig 1, video of water running downhill, and quickly forming into discreet waves. Saw this the other day. Water running downhill. The input of water at the top of the hill looked continuous, so why does the flow become so quickly quantized? By “quantized” I mean the waves. Look at how evenly spaced the waves are. How did those waves arise and become so evenly spaced? Is this even spacing the result of causes in the details of the road and viscosity of water, or is the breaking into stages itself a fundamental law?
I think we should understand the waveform as a cross section of a helix—whether it’s observed in ocean waves, ripples, sand in a tide pool, dunes, clouds, photoelectric quanta, or sinusoidal graphs, and so on and so on.
Regarding quantum leaps in evolution, I would like to refer you to the work of Dr Chandra Wikramasinghe on Lamarkian gene transfer from interstellar arrivals. Short article: https://www.nature.com/articles/news.2011.165
Great overview. And we can even add evidence in relationship with the photo-electro effect.
From radio we already know that light is just an electromagnetic wave, that shows no signs of quantization or particles. But it can caused resonance. That is how antennas work.
Eric Reiter was able to test the photo-electric effect with high energy light. Like ultraviolet and x-rays. His experiments showed that light could no longer be modeled as a photon. The sensor was triggered at more places, or no places at all. Instead he found simple thresholds that needed to be overcome for a sensor to activate. No need for any quantum magic or paradoxes.
I rented a Tesla last week while I was on vacation. I noted at one point that it seemed to accelerate from 0 to 75 without transitioning between gears. Perhaps there is some discontinuous aspect to the acceleration that was below my level of perception. In any event, your point is well taken. There's growing evidence of quantum events in biological systems.
This reminds me of what Karl Schappeller said about the laws of physics. He thought that what we now believe are the laws of physics are actually secondary effects of yet undiscovered primary laws of physics. Wouldn't that be something if he was right?
I like using the example of how much on the solar system scale must be quantized if Titus-Bode’s law is true. There is evidence that this spacing law is true not just for planets, but moons, and extra solar planets too. If this spacing must have these values only, then planetary orbital periods must be quantized too, since they can be calculated by Keplers law. If the orbital spacing, and periods can only have those discrete values, then so must the orbital velocities, (velocities can be calculated from the orbital radius and the period). And so on….

Great observations Michael!

The discontiguousness a product of contiguous factors?
