F27TW Posted January 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Here's the definition for "quantum" : Quantum is the Latin word for amount and, in modern understanding, means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property, such as energy or matter. So how exactly does it relate to "... Of The Seas" .. ? Are they saying "Smallest possible unit of the seas"? Can someone splain?

crookedhalo Posted January 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I believe they are using it in the sense that "Quantum Leap" used it - meaning a move forward that is not measurable in existing terms;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolesrule Posted January 25, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2015 As an adjective, it means "sudden and significant", or "being vitally important". Using it as a proper noun, they can adopt whichever meaning they choose. It doesn't have to be just the noun definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaflamingo Posted January 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It just sounds "cool." Like "Quantum Mechanics." Who, other than Stephen Hawking, gets Quantum Mechanics? But it sure sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, "quantum" in Latin, is an interrogative adjective meaning "how much?" or "how great?" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
