There are many parallels between the quantum world and shoes. You can?t just walk into a store and choose a pair of sneakers that perfectly fit your feet. You are compelled to pick from pairs that have fixed sizes. The world of the atom is comparable. For demonstrating that energy is quantized, Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize. Similar to how shoes can only be bought in multiples of half a size, energy is only available in multiples of the same ?quanta.?. The quanta in question is the Planck constant, so called in honor of quantum physicist Max Planck. He was attempting to resolve an issue with our comprehension of the sun and other hot objects.
