That’s not what I said?

They’re “stable” energy states. That’s all.

If you want my credentials, the second book is deriving the hydrogen atom.

And that they might still move continuously. Which is impossible to prove (see Planck length).

Edit: Corrected my statement based on the reply

That’s not what Planck length is. It’s the minimum resolvable accuracy not measurement. Meaning we can’t prove something was somewhere specific beyond the Planck length. Not that it’s the building size of the universe.

https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_length#:~:text=It is about 1.616255,Planck length per Planck time.

it is a common misconception that it is the inherent “pixel size” or smallest possible length of the universe.[1] If a length smaller than this is used in any measurement, then it has a chance of being wrong due to quantum uncertainty

That is actually good to know, it answers a lot of questions I’ve had about the universe.
