Quantum Sequence:
"geometry and their clock working together.
"Even the centimeter-gram-second (C.G.S.) system had not temperature in their accounting except as a superscript. C.G.t.S - for temperature… The human proclivity for ‘building blocks’ enhanced their proclivity for cubes and cubic accounting. The stacking of regular tetrahedra leave 7° 20’ gaps which seemed to inhibit their allspace-filling function.
"So I saw that the vector is a specific angular direction in respect to an axis of observation. The vector is beautiful and unique because its discrete length is a product of mass and velocity. All the qualities of physical reality are present: the mass is in the discrete length and the time is in the velocity. Vectors do not go to infinity. Here is the basis for a generalized Avogadro system as it occurred to me 60 years ago.
“The crystals may be probably unique to our planet; they might be incandescent at a different distance from the Sun… So the peas and toothpicks of kindergarten gave me the first model for closest packing.”
