What? I was!

edit: yes, I wasn't on the listings as I hadn't checked for 5 (20) minutes, but I then I did, and got your (two) claims!

See! So you get why I thought you weren't on!

in the hope that you take so long to read this extremely long sentence 2 minutes passes before you can post, by which point my 12 points will have succeeded!

OK then:

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics or quantum theory), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental branch of physics concerned with processes involving, for example, atoms and photons. In such processes, said to be quantized, the action has been observed to be only in integer multiples of the Planck constant. This is utterly inexplicable in classical physics.

Quantum mechanics gradually arose from Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem (reported 1859) and Albert Einstein's 1905 paper which offered a quantum-based theory to explain the photoelectric effect (reported 1887). Early quantum theory was profoundly reconceived in the mid-1920s.

The reconceived theory is formulated in various specially developed mathematical formalisms. In one of them, a mathematical function, the wave function, provides information about the probability amplitude of position, momentum, and other physical properties of a particle.

Important applications of quantum mechanical theory[1] include superconducting magnets, light-emitting diodes and the laser, the transistor and semiconductors such as the microprocessor, medical and research imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging and electron microscopy, and explanations for many biological and physical phenomena.

Hmm. That post didn't contain a claim or a spoiler or a comment relevant to the game, and so it's technically against the rules, although there's no penalty for it...

It did, you complained that my post wasn't long enough, so I posted that, on Quantum Physics!
