"There is no fine line between quantum physics and classical physics. How small can something really be and still affect the sound seems like an excellent title for a new thread. Lol"
Yea! Well put!
I read a neat opinion a while back, unfortunately I don't recall where, that if the equation needs Boltzmann's constant then you are at the "quantum level".
Perhaps that the closest thing to an answer there can be. My world is one of "simplifying assumptions". What makes traditional engineering work is knowing what you can "safely" ignore. Naturally as our technology and understanding have improved it's practical to ignore less than it was fifty years ago, but the threshold just shifts, it's still there.
Continuity is a judgement, not the way of the universe. But we try to work around it...
