Yes.

We experience 80M activity every day irrespective of it being
Newtonian or Quantum. *All it reveals is that something with a very,
very, very low energy is still quite measurable. *

However, you "can" deliberately choose the wrong instrument to measure
the energy. *That instrument reveals more about the choice-maker than
the energy.

For instance, a 1KW 80M energy source presents a near 0 degree
absolute temperature. *A fever thermometer is not going to register
that energy.

Dear Richard:

What I said is what my physics book says, I swear there no creation of
mine... :) (I have not any authority on this matter).
I was thinking in quantic number describing the energy of a typical
100 W 80 m oscillator devolped in one second, representing a quantic
number n = 4.3 * 10^28; we know our quanta represents the minimun
possible energy of a 80 m radiation AND the minimun "delta" Energy
possible for a given oscillator, energy difference between (among?)
one quanta an two quanta of 80 m radiation is 2.3 * 10^ -27 J, that
difference (my physic book say) it is unmeasurable experimentally
(this energy leap (skip?, hop?) it is in the order of 10^-8 smaller
that green light leap (in reality my book -Resnick Halliday- give a
moving dust particle example with quantic number very much lower than
my 80 m example yet = n = 3 * 10^14, they said "we can not
distiguish energy difference among n = 3 * 10^14 and n = [3 * 10^14]
+1")
What it is the ohysical sense of working with magnitudes we can not
measure? Nobody (as we know) use (or need) quantum mechanics to deal
with (or explain) locomotive movement :)

Cecil said "electrons can not travel at light speed, photon yes
therefore EM waves are photons", well... EM CAN travel at light speed,
then photons are EM waves As I know duality (particles can
behave as waves and vice versa) have not dead yet (or he died and I
found out?).
Cecil said: "When the concept of displacement current was invented,
nobody
knew that RF fields were actually made up of particles (photons) but
now we do know". Cecil seem to me as Zarathustra has declared: "¡Wave
is dead!" :)

Yes, yes, I know some people bring very strange ideas into the forums,
but I think it is not necessary argue them with exotic others -even if
they are true- because the partner will double the bet and will bring
other even more bizarre yet...! :)

Well, dont be bothered by my comments, I am joking a little...
