Quantines

Quantines are a hypothetical class of particles that are theorized to exist within quantum mechanics. The concept of quantines arises from attempts to reconcile the discrete nature of quantum phenomena with the continuous properties observed in classical physics. Specifically, quantines are imagined as fundamental units of quantum information or excitation, distinct from traditional elementary particles like electrons or photons. The idea suggests that certain physical processes or states might be best described as an aggregation or interaction of these quantines, rather than through the behavior of individual, well-defined particles. While not a mainstream concept in established quantum field theories, the notion of quantines has been explored in various theoretical frameworks, particularly in areas seeking to understand the granular nature of spacetime or the underlying structure of quantum fields. Research into quantines often involves abstract mathematical models and thought experiments, aiming to shed light on the fundamental building blocks of reality at its smallest scales. Their existence remains unproven and is largely a subject of theoretical speculation within advanced physics.
