For instance, Heisenberg accepted the theoretical prediction of jumps of electrons between orbitals in an atom, but Schrödinger hoped that a theory based on continuous wave-like properties could avoid what he called (as paraphrased by Wilhelm Wien) "this nonsense about quantum jumps".
Contohnya, Heisenberg menerima prediksi teoretis tentang lompatan elektron antara orbital dalam atom, namun Schrödinger berharap bahwa teori berbasis properti seperti-gelombang kontinu dapat menghindari apa yang ia sebut (dikatakan ulang oleh Wilhelm Wien) "lompatan kuantum yang tidak masuk akal."
