Description: Suggests that atoms are grains of matter and that measures of motion and energy are also found to occur only in the grainy mode. Explains that the measure of electrical response comes in a one-sized package, one quantum, and that a particle can never posses a fractional quantity of charge. Emphasizes that atoms are quantum-rigid and that the permanence of the world depends of the fact that no energy store can change by more than its smallest quantum.
