100

This constant solved or improved 3/4 of the mysterious early experiments disproving classical mechanics. It is about 6.62607015*10-34 J/s.

What is Planck's constant?

100

This type of transformation is used to prove the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and is named after a French mathematician.

What is a Fourier transformation?

100

This theory was incompatible with QM because the theory of QM that did the best at describing it treated time and space as different entities.

What is special relativity?

100

These diagrams could be seen as doodles or drawings but are key to understanding QFT.

What is a Feymann diagram?

100

This theory is incompatible with QM because it involves the curvature of spacetime meaning that it must have an object's exact position at all times.

What is general relativity?

200

This experiment disproves the plum pudding theory because of its nature. It favors a particular atom model named after the experiment do-er.

What was the Rutherford scattering experiment?

200

These 2 values are complementary to each other because they are in the same Heisenberg uncertainty inequality and are why virtual particles can exist.

What are the values of energy and time?

200

This person created an equation that describes the electron's version of relativity compatibility by thinking of particles as field disturbances.

Who was Paul Dirac?

200

This process uses special cases to make approximations more precise.

What is renormalization?

200

This theory was originally a theory of composite particles made up of quarks and now hypostasizes that all particles are vibrating strings in a supersymmetric, 10 dimensional spacetime.  

What is superstring theory?

300

This model suggests that the electrons in an atom are on discrete levels of light quanta based on their "height" in the atom.  

What is the Bohr Model?

300

This value is the absolute value of amplitude squared.

What is the value of probability?

300

This thing when vibrating creates a particle.

What is a quantum field?

300

This approach to how a particle travels through space by assessing probability of paths with the principle of least action.

What is the Feynman path integral approach?

300

This theory of QG, invented by Lee Smolin, involves quantum loops in a crocheted universe of loops and particles.

What is LQG (loop quantum gravity)?

400

This constant depends on it's substance and acts as a dampener of an electron's energy in the photoelectric effect.

What is the work force?

400

This thing has many different varieties of form, but all describe quantum mechanics. Some examples of these things include Copenhagen, Pilot-wave, Many Worlds, Spontaneous collapse and others that try to explain quantum weirdness, mostly wave function collapse.

What is a quantum mechanics interpretation?

400

This theory suggests that we can make an approximation of certain answers to then generalize to get exact answers.

What is perturbation theory?

400

This thing includes Bohm pilot wave theory, Many worlds, Objective collapse theory, and Copenhagen.

What is an interpretation of quantum mechanics?

400

This the lack of this thing is the reason that many doubt string theory or LQG.

What is objective evidence?

500

This theory explains Niels Bohr's electron theory because it suggests that all particles are waves and vice versa and the levels are caused by interference.

What is the De Broglie theory?

500

This equation describes the entire quantum mechanics universe ignoring the ideas of relativity. It includes an imaginary number, an operator, and a partial derivative of a mysterious wave function.

What is the Schrodinger equation?

500

These things exist in 17 different identities and are quantum field vibrations that compose everything else in the universe.

What is a fundamental particle? 

500

This model is a periodic table of fundamental particles organized by charge, mass, and fermion/boson categories. 

What is the standard model of particle physics?

500

This theory suggests that gravity is probabilistic unless observed and has it's own wave function while all properties of gravity and other things are from partial Fourier transforms.

What is Galician wave theory?
