QUANTUM POWER |
| DISCOVER 11 |
Earth scientist Max Planck first coined the term "quantum" to describe
an individual particle of light. Planck thought each quantum was indivisible,
so that a fraction of a quantum could not exist. One of the more startling
discoveries arising from Unified Field Theory was that individual quantum
actually could be split into component sub-particles, much like atoms may
be split through fission. The energy released by Quantum Power is several
orders of magnitude greater than ordinary Fusion Power.
